The Castle of El Coronil

This type of castle is very similar to the one in Las Aguzaderas and others of the border defence system: quadrangular floor plan and a keep in one of the greater sides of the rectangle. There is no detailed documentation about this fortress until the end of the 14th century.

Cortijo Torre de la Reina

The place known today as Cortijo Torre de la Reina was once the rearguard settlement of one of the camps of King Fernando III el Santo during the conquest of Seville. In the late 13th and early 14th centuries it was owned by Queen María de Molina, which is why the building is called Torre de la Reina (Queen's Tower).

Remains of the Roman wall

The Roman wall of Gerena is located in the town of the same name, in the province of Seville. It was during the Roman period that a settlement of a truly urban nature was founded in Gerena. The city wall was built around the first century B.C. Some remains of the wall that surrounded the city can still be seen.

El Real de la Jara enjoyed a strategic position throughout the Middle Ages, which made it a major defensive hub, as evidenced by the remains of the Castle, located a stone's throw from the town. 

Restos del Castillo El Torreón
Remains of el Torreón Castle

This 13th-century watchtower was built in times of the Reconquest during the late medieval period. From here, one can see the typical landscape of pastures and scrubland that surround the town, as well as the River Guadiamar, its banks and part of the vast municipal district. The town and the watchtower are likely of Arab origin.

The Dehesilla Tower is located in the countryside, very close to the El Negro and Garci Bravo estates. The main façade of the rectangular tower is about ten metres wide and six metres deep. A stone ashlar foundation supports its thick, rammed-earth walls that are over 7 metres high. The door on the north side still remains, framed by stone ashlars.
