Arco de la Pastora

This arch is located on what was formerly known as Ecija's Gate, between Cervantes Square and Alfonso XII Street. Its origin dates back to 1796, as the upper inscription reads "Under the reign of Don Carlos IV and Doña María Luisa de Borbón. Year MDCCXCVI".

Marchena-Puerta de Sevilla. Arco de la Rosa
Puerta de Seville. Arco de la Rosa.

The “Arco de la Rosa” (Rose Arch), also known as “Puerta de Sevilla” (Seville Gate), is one of the gates of the walled compound, and one of the landmarks that best embody the image of Marchena. This gate and its surrounding buildings were built in 1430, according to a Bull granted by Pope Martin V to promote this work. 

La Puebla de Cazalla-Hacienda Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Hacienda Nuestra Señora del Carmen

The country estate, also known as Hacienda La Fuenlonguilla, is located half a kilometre along the road SE-457. It dates back to the mid-19th century, more specifically 1858. It was used for agricultural and livestock activities. The Hacienda’s original olive oil mill is still in perfect condition, as is the rest of the complex.

La Puebla de Cazalla-Plaza de Andalucía
Plaza de Andalucía

This area was renovated in the 1980s. It was transformed into a public square under the design and direction of Francisco Moreno Galván. It consists of a collonaded courtyard reminiscent of the cloister arcades of a convent. There is a modest fountain in the centre, and a cypress in a corner, reminiscent of the one about which Gerardo Diego wrote and sang.    

Gerena. Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time.

Ermita de San Juan Evangelista
Shrine to San Juan Evangelista – Casa de las Artes

This building has a single nave with transversal arches. Hernández Díaz has dated the structure to the first third of the 14th century based on the semi-circular shape of the apse, the moulding on the presbytery’s toral arch and the entranceways.

Carmona-Puerta de Córdoba
Puerta de Córdoba

The Puerta de Córdoba is located at the northeast end of Carmona, on a natural watercourse of the Alcor hill. Formerly, it was one of the four gates of the town.     

This gate was built in Roman times. The Via Augusta crossed the city from Puerta de Córdoba to Puerta de Sevilla along the Cardo Maximo.
