Plaza y Ermita de Santa Rosalia
Plaza and Shrine to Santa Rosalia

Plaza de Santa Rosalía is a large square in the neighbourhood known as “Barrio de la Ranas”.

Presiding over the Plaza de Santa Rosalía is a wrought-iron cross on a brick pedestal. This cross has stood in the square since time immemorial, and it can be considered the Gines’ “Wayside Cross”.

Iglesia Santa María La Blanca
Santa Maria la Blanca Church

A neoclassical temple built in the fifteenth century. It has interesting decorative elements, sculptures and paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. Its origins may likely date back to a shrine to Our Lady of Consolation built here in the first half of the fifteenth century. A cluster of houses inhabited by day labourers sprang up around it.

Ermita Ntra. Sra. de la Encarnación
Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación Chapel

In the foothills of Sierra Morena, near the Las Torres stream, which marks the boundary between the municipalities of Gerena and Guillena, the image of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación was seen in a stone cave or grotto by a man who was riding through the area, causing his horse to bolt in fear resisting all his efforts to restrain it.

Ermita Nuestra Señora del Castillo
Shrine to Nuestra Señora del Castillo

The Shrine to Our Lady of the Castle is the epitome of Mudejar religious architecture in Western Andalusia. This Christian temple was built next to the Castle’s former parade ground around the second half of the 14th century. This is evidenced by its declaration as a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931.
