The present building stands on the site of two earlier churches, built in the 16th and 17th centuries, respectively. Although the construction work began in 1723, it was not completed until 1800.

Valencina de la Concepción-Fachada de la Capilla de la Hacienda de Torrijos
Hacienda de Torrijos Chapel 

The Hacienda de Torrijos was not originally intended to be a religious building. Its past as an ancient Moorish military fortress is evidenced by the presence of walls and towers. The hacienda is considered a cultural asset.

Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Estrella

As regards the original church we only have evidence that it existed in 1609, since the altarpiece currently in the tabernacle was made at that time, and the chapel also dates from that period. As for the current church, we know that it was restored in 1731 by Diego Antonio Díaz and the general style of the church is typical of this period.

Santa María de Las Nieves Church

This church was built in the Mudejar style with a single nave, a wooden roof and a chancel. A side aisle was added during the baroque period, while the tower and the portal date from the 18th century.

This baroque-style church was built in the last quarter of the 18th century to replace the earlier 16th-century, Seville Mudéjar-Gothic-style church destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. It was built by Pedro Silva and Pedro José Díaz in 1760-1762.

Shrine to Nuestra Señora de Consolación

The shrine, a small Mudéjar-style structure built in the late 13th century, was initially dedicated to Santa María de Carrión. However, nothing remains of it, and the site is now occupied by the structure we see today.
