Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

This temple, opened in March 1769, was the first building constructed in this village. Due to the epidemic of “Tercianas” or malaria, the church was used as a hospital for men and renamed “Juan Bautista Alvitt”.

It is a typical baroque church built during Pablo de Olavide’s repopulation initiative under King Carlos III.

Reconstructed in 1938, the church is home to paintings and images from the 17th century and 18th century, transferred here from the now-extinct La Victoria Convent in Estepa, including the image of the patron saint of the town. 

This is a single-nave building that shows classicist-style architectural features but with later alterations that detract from its original appearance. Currently, its interior is covered with a plasterboard ceiling. 

The Osuna’s Collegiate Church is a jewel of Renaissance architecture. Founded by Juan Téllez Girón, 4th Count of Ureña, it replaced the old medieval parish church. It is unclear who the architects were.

The workshop located in the industrial main street in Seville since the 19th century is the greatest example of Sevillian and Spanish goldsmithing that keeps its essence in the 21st century.

The museum is situated in the Encarnación Monastery, formerly known as Madres Mercedarias. It houses numerous works of significant historical and artistic value that are used by the Confraternity to worship their titular images, the Christ of the True Cross and Our Lady of Sorrows. These objects range from lavish silverware to delicate, embroidered textiles.

The parish church has a remarkable sacred art collection, such as Rococo drawers in the Sacristy, many, rich liturgical vestments, noteworthy collection of choir books and numerous gold- and silverwork objects.

Next to the vestry and the left nave is the courtyard. Impressive collections of prehistoric, Roman and Arabic archaeological remains are displayed under the arcade.
