Paradas. Iglesia Parroquial de San Eutropio
San Eutropio Parish Church

This church is, without a doubt, the most significant building in Paradas. In the mid-15th century, Juan Ponce de León, Count of Paradas, laid the first stone of the old church over which the current one stands.

Iglesia de San Francisco
San Francisco Church

Originally a 15th-century Gothic building, the appearance was significantly altered in the 17th and 18th centuries to become a baroque-neoclassical Church. The central nave is covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, the side naves with a groin vault and the presbytery by a dome on pendentives.

Iglesia Parroquial San Pedro Apóstol
San Pedro Apóstol Parish Church

The building is listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest. The style is baroque in transition to neoclassicism. It was built on an earlier Mudejar-style church that was demolished due to the damage caused by the Lisbon earthquake (1755). Its construction began in 1780 and ended in 1801. 

Convento de San Luis del Monte
San Luis del Monte Convent

The baroque-style Franciscan convent was built in the 18th century. Its foundation dates back to 1492. The original convent was on the foothills of the Sierra Morena, 6 km from Peñaflor, where a fountain and some ruins are still preserved. In 1731, the decision was made to relocate the convent from the mountains to the village of Peñaflor.

Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción
Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception

The church was built around 1620 by order of the Marquises of Estepa. It is of Romanesque origin, with 18th century renovations and additions. The church originally had a Latin cross floor plan, to which the side chapels and the right nave were later added. Inside, it houses 18th century chapels and altarpieces. 

Iglesia de la Victoria
Victoria Church

This 16th-century building was the conventual church of the Paulist Fathers. Nowadays, due to continual renovation works carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries and, especially in recent times (1965-1974), only the apse and the transept have been preserved. The small chapel to Saint Francis of Paola with baroque plasterwork inside has also been conserved.
