Carrión de los Céspedes. Ermita de Ntra. Sra. de Consolación
Shrine to Nuestra Señora de Consolación

The shrine, a small Mudéjar-style structure built in the late 13th century, was initially dedicated to Santa María de Carrión. However, nothing remains of it, and the site is now occupied by the structure we see today.

Fuentes de Andalucía-Ayuntamiento
Ayuntamiento de Fuentes de Andalucía

The Lisbon earthquake destroyed the old town hall. In 1763, it was decided to appoint two architects to build a new building. The project submitted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts by the local master-builder Alonso Ruiz Florindo was rejected owing to its baroque style. The design that was ultimately accepted was by Ventura Rodríguez, the Court’s chief architect.

Paradas. Iglesia Parroquial de San Eutropio
San Eutropio Parish Church

This church is, without a doubt, the most significant building in Paradas. In the mid-15th century, Juan Ponce de León, Count of Paradas, laid the first stone of the old church over which the current one stands.

Écija-Iglesia de Santa Bárbara
Santa Barbara Church

The church has three naves separated by semi-circular arches on pillars; the central nave is covered by a barrel vault, with groin vaults on the side naves. Although it is mostly a 19th century, neoclassical building, parts of the church are from earlier times. Legend has it that the current structure is built over a Roman palace.

Iglesia de Santa María
Santa Maria Church

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.
