Seville, beautiful and diverse

The Shrine to Saint Bartholomew is located in the Plaza de Llano, in the centre of the town. It dates from the 15th century and has a basilica plan with three naves separated by brick columns that support pointed arches. The Church has a wooden roof with a coffered ceiling over the central nave and a hanging ceiling on the side naves. 

The Shrine to Our Lady of Solitude is located in the north edge of the town towards El Pedroso. There used to be on this same place another Shrine to San Sebastian, where Our Lady of Solitude was venerated as early as the sixteenth century., The compound was ultimately given her name owing to the great devotion of the people.

The Shrine was built over the fountain where the Marian apparition took place. A vaulted pipe carries the water through the building to the courtyard. The temple has undergone multiple renovations over the centuries. It owes its current appearance to the last one undertaken in the 1980s.

The Shrine is an 18th-century building attached to a Roman-era tomb excavated in the rock. Located in Blancaflor Street, it consists of a cave tomb, which serves as a chapel, a small anteroom and a graceful bell gable. The chapel is dedicated to San Críspulo and San Restituto.

The San Francisco monastery was founded by Diego de Torres, M. A., Professor of Salamanca University, and was paid for by the people through donations. For some time, it was named San Diego in honour of its founder.

Formerly the chapel of Santa Maria de la Asuncion and a hospital for pilgrims, it is believed to have been built in the early 16th century. It was located within the old wall that surrounded Gerena. The chapel is a Mudejar-style building with a single nave with a trough roof, a chancel with a hemispherical dome and a choir at the end. It is dedicated to the Hermandad de la Soledad.

The Shrine to Our Lady of Bethlehem is located at the Plaza de Belén. It has a square plan with two pointed arches in the lower part, whose side posts have disappeared.

The altar and dressing room of Our Lady of Bethlehem are located in an Almohad “Qubba” from the late 11th century.
