Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

This Priory Church is the epitome of Carmona’s religious architecture and the town’s largest building.
The earlier Almohad mosque was demolished in 1424 to build the Christian temple, the first phase of which was completed in 1518. The ablutions courtyard remains.

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

The Santa María de la Asunción Church still preserves traces of its Mudejar-Gothic origin despite the many additions and changes undergone to date. Its origin is likely between the 14th and 15th centuries when Ponce de León was granted the lordship of Mairena.

Santiago is profoundly linked to Utrera’s origin as a city. The original church that stood opposite the Castle was the heart of present-day Utrera. According to the chronicles, the primitive church of Santiago was looted in the second half of the 14th century by Mohamed V of Granada.

Located in the Plaza de España, the church is a Mudejar-style building with a single nave and simple exterior appearance dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. It has a Gothic doorway from 1400, renovated in 1500. On its façade the remains of a Corinthian style column can be seen.

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.

The Shrine to Our Lady of the Castle is the epitome of Mudejar religious architecture in Western Andalusia. This Christian temple was built next to the Castle’s former parade ground around the second half of the 14th century. This is evidenced by its declaration as a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931.
