Seville enchants

It was initially built in the 16th century as a Shrine to Our Lady of Grace. It was home to the Augustinian Order until they moved to the current Convent of San Agustín circa 1616. From 1670 to 1780, it was an all-girls school run by the Beatas Educandas de Santa Isabel.

This Church, built in 1929-1932, belongs to the Convent of the Sisters of the Cross. 

This very plain, neo-Gothic Church consists of a vaulted nave with lunettes and barrel arches. The main altarpiece is also neo-Gothic. The central niche is presided over by an Immaculate Conception made in 1967 by Manuel Escamilla, an Estepa sculptor.

The Ermita de San Marcos was built over the remains of an old oratory. The construction works began in 1840 and ended in 1845. It was completely renovated and reopened on 15 October 1994. 

The Shrine to San José Obrero was built in 1994 in near the Roya spring. Plan a visit to St Joseph during the Estepa’s Pilgrimage on 1 May.

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

There are two different versions regarding the origin of this temple. The first speaks of the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a baker in “Capita” street, which pushed the parish priest, Primitivo Tarancón Gallo, to erect this temple in a nearby place. The parish priest is again the protagonist in the second version.

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.
