Santa María del Águila Church

The Santa María del Águila Church shares a common feature with other Sevillian Mudejar-style parish churches from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Iglesia del Convento de Las Marroquíes
Las Marroquíes Conventual Church

This single-nave church is covered with a remarkable Mudejar-style frame from 1596. It is accessed through the entrance located on the right wall. The angled bell gable on the entrance dates back to 1760. It has a baroque decoration with a moulded frieze, pendants, polychrome blue tiles on white walls and bricks, crowned by a curved split pediment around the top and a wrought-iron cross.

Iglesia de San Pablo y Santo Domingo
Church of San Pablo y Santo Domingo

The original church dating from the late 16th century was renovated in the 17th and 18th centuries, giving it its current style and appearance. The tower was also built in the 18th century. 

Carmona-Convento Santa Clara
Santa Clara Convent

The Cloistered Convent of the Franciscan Order of Santa Clara was founded with the approval of Pope Pius II and under the aegis of the Duchess of Arcos. It is the oldest of Carmona’s female convents. 

The building has various architectural styles as its construction lasted several years. It is a beautiful combination of Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque.    

Convento Madre de Dios
Madre de Dios Convent

The Madre de Dios Convent is located on the street of the same name, next to the former Chapter House in Carmona’s historic centre.  

It appears that the Dominican community was founded in the early 16th century.  In 1520, the building began to take shape and was gradually integrated into the urban fabric of the old medieval quarter. It reached its maximum size in the 17th century. 

Casa Lola "La de Lucena"
Casa Lola “La de Lucena”

It is undoubtedly the most picturesque building in the old town. It was built in 1905 by the flamenco singer “Lola, la de Lucena”, and later purchased by the Benjumea family. It was later occupied by a congregation of nuns and is now privately owned.    

Mairena del Alcor-Iglesia Santa María de la Asunción
Santa María de la Asunción Church

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.
