The Shrine to San Roque is nestled in Pinares de Oromana at Cerro del Calvario, just south of the city and close to the River Guadaíra.

It houses a 16th-century statue of Our Lady of Bethlehem, and a 17th-century image of St Rocco. There is also a painting attributed to the 18th-century Sevillian School.

Chapel of Nuestra Señora de La Salud

This is a late 19th century building, its exact year of construction being 1891. It was built by the resident of this town, Francisco de Paula Gálvez Gómez, in gratitude to the Virgin for having saved his life from Asian cholera in 1890.

El Pedroso. Ermita de la Virgen del Espino con árboles delante
Shrine to Nuestra Señora del Espino

This small Mudejar church has a typical mountain architecture consisting of a single nave with transversal arches and a standalone main chapel. The chapel is covered with a dome crowned by a cupola that was added during the Baroque period. The main entrance, at the west end, is also Baroque. The pointed arch on the right wall, obscured by several adjacent rooms, is Mudejar.

Villamanrique de la Condesa. Fachada de la Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena
Santa María Magdalena Church

This 19th-century neoclassical church was built over an earlier 14th-century temple (Shrine to Our Lady of Solitude), demolished in 1800 by the Count of Altamira. The church has a rectangular plan, a central nave and two aisles. The central nave, which is larger than the aisles, is covered with barrel vaults and the aisles with groin vaults.

Brenes-Ermita de San Sebastián.
Hermitage of San Sebastián

The 17th-century Shrine to San Sebastián has been renovated several times in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The story behind this Shrine remains a mystery in many ways. It remains unclear how the image of Saint Sebastian came to Brenes, although it is thought that it may have come from a convent in Seville. The 16th-century sculpture, by an anonymous author, is used for religious purposes.
