Sanlúcar la Mayor. Conjunto Árabe de Murallas
Moorish City Wall Ensemble

This ensemble is to be found at the southwest end of the current town, the deep ravine of the Carianas stream serving as a natural moat on its north side and the Los Tejares Ravine to the south, forming between them a spur that is only accessible from the east side.

Murallas Hins-Alfaray
Hins-Alfaray Walls

The Hins-Alfaray Walls are some of the most important remains of the Moorish town that was built in this area in the 12th century, during the Almohad period. It was a fortified enclosure, a ring of walls surrounding the main watchtower that served to defend the settlement. 

Los Molares-Castillo de Los Molares
Castillo de Los Molares

The Los Molares Castle is the main monument of this Sevillian town. King Fernando IV granted the property of Los Molares to Lope Gutiérrez de Toledo between 1310 and 1336. This property was a small expanse of land on which a fortress would be built. It is likely that there already was a tower from an earlier period.

Utrera. Arco de entrada al Callejón del Niño Perdido
Callejón del Niño Perdido

This alleyway is located in the heart of Utrera’s historical centre. In the past, it was also used as a small gateway through the walls. A cross and a scallop shell, symbols of the Way of St James, grace the entrance to the alleyway. Its whitewashed walls, full of flower pots, take us back to another era.
