Iglesia y Convento de Santa Clara
Santa Clara Conventual Church

The Marquises of Estepa founded the Convent in 1599 when one of their daughters entered the cloister.

The temple was founded later, in 1621. The 17th-century mural painting and the main altarpiece in Baroque-Solomonic-style are worthy of note. As is typical in a convent, it consists of a single nave covered by a half-barrel vault and an ante-chancel with a dome.

Antiguo Palacio de los Cepeda
Antiguo Palacio de los Cepeda

The former Palace belonged to the Counts of Cepeda, whose most prominent member was Saint Theresa of Jesus. Her image appears above the doorway. Its baroque façade from the mid-18th century is one the most beautiful in Osuna. The portal is framed with stone estipites, while the balcony is crowned by the family coat-of-arms flanked by two almost life-size halberdiers.

Umbrete. Fachada del Palacio Arzobispal
Archbishop's Palace

This building has been classified as an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1995. In the early 18th century, Archbishop Luis de Salcedo y Azcona decided to build a palace on top of the pre-existing building. Apparently, the new building was almost totally destroyed in a fire that occurred on 27 February 1792.
