Marchena- Iglesia de San Miguel
San Miguel Church

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.

Iglesia Conventual de San Francisco
San Francisco Conventual Church

This building underwent several renovations during the first half of the 18th century that proved insufficient. In the century’s middle years, the chapel was demolished and rebuilt, leading to the loss of any information about previous interventions. The construction of the new Church began in 1752 with donations from institutions and individuals. It was completed in 1758. 

Iglesia de San Carlos El Real
San Carlos El Real Church

This former church of the Society of Jesus dates from the 17th century. When the Jesuits left, the convent was abandoned, and the church was stripped of its most interesting works. The main altarpiece was found in the parish of El Saucejo. The entire church became the property of the State -hence the epithet Real.

Écija-Iglesia de Santa Bárbara
Santa Barbara Church

The church has three naves separated by semi-circular arches on pillars; the central nave is covered by a barrel vault, with groin vaults on the side naves. Although it is mostly a 19th century, neoclassical building, parts of the church are from earlier times. Legend has it that the current structure is built over a Roman palace.

Iglesia del Convento de La Concepción
Immaculate Conception Conventual Church

Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, the church belongs to the namesake convent, founded by Blessed Beatrice of Silva for the Franciscan Conceptionists. 

Gelves. Monumento a Joselito el Gallo con el torero de perfil y el toro en el suelo
Monument to Joselito El Gallo

The monument, located in the square of the same name, is the work of the sculptor Collaut Valera. The bronze statue depicts the bullfighter in a proud and victorious pose after finishing the fight, while the mortally wounded bull lies on the ground with its limbs extended. The sculpture faithfully reflects Joselito after completing the “tercio de muerte” or the death stage.
