Aznalcóllar Castle, built in the Late Bronze Orientalising period, reached great splendour in Roman and Islamic times.

Aznalcóllar Castle was a Muslim fortress before the Reconquista of Seville in 1274 by Fernando III.

Arab Fortress of Alhonoz

The fortress is located between the municipalities of Ecija and Herrera. Its dominant position with respect to the surrounding territory led to the existence of a major urban settlement in its surroundings during the Moorish period that survived until the reconquest.

Ruins of the Medieval Castle

In the past, a medieval castle stood at the confluence of the River Siete Arroyos and the former riverbed of the River Guadalquivir (known as Cañada de la Molineta). All that remains today are two walls, one with a horseshoe arch.

Lebrija Castle stands on the highest point of the town from which it takes its name. It has dominated the town since it was built in the medieval period.

Alcázar Hill

This is the highest point in the village. It was likely the location of the first human settlement in the area, as the ceramic and Libyan-Punic coins found appear to suggest. Furthermore, the few remains found of the fortress for which the village is named are located on the hilltop.

Islamic gateway, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest

The Islamic, and more specifically Almohad, origin of the so-called Puerta del Arquillo, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985, has been confirmed. This structure would be militarily related to the rest of the Islamic wall, and to the nearby Alcazar moat.
