Seville enchants

The San Benito Chapel is located in the foothills of Sierra Morena, 12 kilometres from the town of Castilblanco. It is a simple, medium-sized building which, although somewhat affected by small alterations, almost completely preserves its original style.

The church dates from the mid-17th century, the name of San Marcos being clearly linked to the devotions of the 4th Count of Ureña, Don Juan Téllez Girón (1624-1656). 

This simple 18th century chapel is built with plastered masonry. It has a single nave roofed with a vault decorated with Baroque plasterwork.

Outside it has a brick doorway and a double belfry.

This small shrine on the outskirts of the town was established in the 15th century by a Franciscan community; however, there is very little data available. Given its location on the outskirts, the Chapel was used as a charity hospital in 1601 during an epidemic. 

The Church of Our Lady of Consolation is located in the Plaza Virgen de los Remedios.

The Chapel is located opposite the Parish Church, in the namesake square. It formerly housed the Confraternity of Charity, who tended to the sick. 

The Osuna’s Collegiate Church is a jewel of Renaissance architecture. Founded by Juan Téllez Girón, 4th Count of Ureña, it replaced the old medieval parish church. It is unclear who the architects were.
