Gerena. Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time.

Alanís.Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves
Nuestra Señora de las Nieves Parish Church

The Nuestra Señora de las Nieves Parish Church is a noteworthy temple that began to be built in the early 14th century. A façade-tower and a magnificent Gothic main altarpiece from around 1500 was added in the third quarter of the 16th century.

Aguadulce. Puente de Piedra
Stone Bridge

Aguadulce's Renaissance Stone Bridge connected the regions of Estepa and Osuna.

This five-span bridge over the River Blanco dates back to 1596. It was built to prevent the people of Aguadulce from wading across the river at times of flooding with the inevitable drownings.

Iglesia del Convento del Carmen
Nuestra Señora del Carmen Conventual Church

The Carmelite Order occupied the convent, donated by Juan Téllez Girón, in 1606. The construction likely began in the early 16th century, as the unfinished chancel has Gothic and Renaissance elements. The naves and portal were renovated in the 18th century. The church has three naves covered by a barrel vault and supported by pillars. Current convent of the Carmelite Fathers

Torre de la iglesia de la purísima concepción, campanario, reloj y farol en la puerta de la iglesia, farola y banco en la plaza
La Purísima Concepción Parish Church

This Renaissance church was built in the 18th century to accommodate the order of Benedictine monks. It was the monks themselves who brought the beautiful 16th century font to the church. At the top of the twenty-metre-high bell tower, there are four bells named San Antonio, Jesús, José and María, in homage to the Holy Family.

Osuna-Museo Colegiata
Sacred Art Museum of the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

The museum is located in the old sacristy of the Collegiate Church. Worthy of note is the collection of works made by Ribera (1616-1617) for the Duke of Osuna. There are also several choral books with beautiful Renaissance miniatures in bright colours.
