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.

Iglesia de San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo Church

It was built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Worthy of note is the 18th-century tile plinth, and a 16th-century Crucified Christ.

Iglesia de San Sebastián
San Sebastian Church and Vera Cruz Charpel

A 16th-century building, originally located on the outskirts of the city, and built on what could have been the Shrine to San Sebastian. Based on its floor plan, the building was likely Mudejar. It has always been closely tied to the Confraternity of the Vera-Cruz. During the 18th century, it was declared in ruins.

The Sanctuary dates back to the early 16th century when Antonio Barrados obtained permission to build a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Consolation. The titular image was gifted by the Nuestra Señora de la Antigua Convent. On 31 March 1561, the chapel was transferred to the Congregation of Minimal Fathers. The construction of the convent and church began at that time.
