Feria

Seville, beautiful and diverse

The Gothic-Mudejar building dates back to the 13th-14th centuries.

The base of the building is covered with Sevillian tiles from various chronological periods. It has a single T-shaped nave in which the Baptismal Chapel, the Presbytery and the Sacristy can be distinguished.

The Santa María de La Mota Church is located within Marchena’s old Islamic citadel (Alcázar). This walled area, situated in the town’s highest point, is segregated from the rest of the city; hence, its name “La Mota”. It was built around 1356, after King Fernando IV of Castile bestowed the Señorío de Marchena upon Fernando Ponce de León on 18 December 1309.

The Church, built in the 15th century, was the seat of the former priory of Lora. In Mudejar-Gothic style, it underwent various renovations over the centuries, the most important one in late 19th century, when the choir was transferred, the presbytery and other chapels were reformed, and the atrium, courtyard and tower were built.

This is the oldest church in the town. It is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest. It was built in the Mudéjar-Gothic style in the late 13th century with baroque additions. The church consists of a nave and two aisles covered by a wooden coffered ceiling. The polygonal chancel with a vaulted ceiling occupies the apse.
