Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Gracia
Chapel of Nuestra Señora de Gracia

Our charming little chapel, dating from the first half of the 16th century, was built on stone foundations on a flat-topped hill north of the cabañal, about sixty yards from the old road and next to the site of a medieval pilgrim's cross.

Iglesia Ntra. Sra. Gracia y Convento San Francisco
Ntra. Sra. de Gracia Church and San Francisco Convent

The Convent, located on the Cerro de San Cristóbal, was founded by the second Marquis of Estepa, Juan Bautista Centurión, just four years after the foundation of the Santa Clara Convent.

Ermita de la Concepción
Chapel of La Concepción

The construction of the chapel began around 1732. By 1746 it had been roofed and blessed and masses were celebrated there, and it was finally completed in 1749 with the addition of a belfry with two bells, formerly known in the town as La Gorda (Fat Lady) and La Chica (Little Girl). The construction of the chapel was financed by donations from the inhabitants of Herrera.

Ermita del Calvario
Shrine to The Calvario

This small shrine from the sixteenth or seventeenth century was likely built where a wayside cross was located –a common practice in those days. 

Inside is the 16th-century image of the Our Lady of Sorrows. In the 18th century, the Chapel was covered with a ribbed vault, which is still preserved. 

Ermita de San Benito Abad
Chapel of San Benito Abad

The San Benito Chapel is located in the foothills of Sierra Morena, 12 kilometres from the town of Castilblanco. It is a simple, medium-sized building which, although somewhat affected by small alterations, almost completely preserves its original style.
