Seville enchants

The Confraternity of the Trinity built the chapel in the early 18th century (1719-1723) to worship their titular images.

This is a chapel dedicated to the veneration of the Virgen del Pilar in the town of Valencina de la Concepción. It was inaugurated on 12 October 1940, coinciding with her feast day.

During the Muslim period, the Shrine was a mosque located in the highest part of the town and oriented towards the Mecca. It was customary for churches to be built over former mosques. The present temple dates back to the 16th century and originally consisted of a single nave. Another nave was later built on the Epistle side of the Shrine.

The temple is somewhat removed from the town’s walled historic quarters. When it was built in the 15th century, it was meant to be a shrine to the Archangel St Michael.

Although it has a core area that is Mudejar, it has undergone multiple renovations, especially in the 18th century, when the choir’s side chapels were added.

This recently built traditional building (opened on 13 April 2008) is located at a municipally-owned property known as “La Suerte”, on the outskirts of the town. It houses the image of Our Lady of Miracles, highly revered in Cañada Rosal, whose pilgrimage takes place in May. 

The original shrine, of which only the chapel remains, was from the 13th century. It was renovated in the 14th century with the addition of the sacristy and the portal. It was later renovated again in the 18th century. It has been restored in 1842, 1861, 1887 and 1920. Despite these works, it has maintained its Mudejar-style.

The Dukes of Montepensier commissioned the reconstruction of this Mudejar style building in 1859 according to the design of the architect Balbino Marrón. It consists of a single nave with an 18th-century baroque high altar and a painting Saint Ferdinand in front of the Virgin Mary by Luis de Oñate.
