Utrera. Fachada de la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores
Nuestra Señora de los Dolores Church

In 1731, a group of boys would walk through the streets singing the rosary “more for childish entertainment than true devotion”. Gradually, more people joined them until the Confraternity of the Servites was founded. The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows is the architectural gem of the Confraternity.

Osuna-Ermita de San Arcadio
Shrine to San Arcadio

This Shrine is dedicated to the image of Osuna’s patron saint, Saint Arcadius, who is taken in procession through the city every year on 12 January. The 17th-century church was renovated in the 18th century. The single nave shrine is covered by a barrel vault and the transept with a dome on pendentives.

Monasterio San Miguel de la Breña
San Miguel de la Breña Monastery

The Monastery is located on a privately-owned estate, a few kilometres from the town on the road leading to Malcocinado. This is all that remains of the former Basilio Monastery. The chapel, which is used as a warehouse of the current farmhouse, consists of a single nave divided into two sections, one with a barrel vault and the other with a dome.

Ermita Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios
Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Chapel

This is an ancient Christian chapel that may have originally been an Arab mosque of which the mihrab would have been preserved. It has undergone restoration work since it ceased to be used as a prison. 

Convento de la Madre de Dios
Madre de Dios Convent

Built in the 16th century, the Madre de Dios convent is now home to the Hermanas de la Doctrina Cristiana. It has a beautiful cloister with Mudejar and Renaissance features. It is worth mentioning that it suffered a major fire in 1722 and was looted during the civil war, being restored during the 1990s.

Iglesia de la Concepción
Church of La Concepción

The ensemble is a 17th century baroque building commissioned by Alvaro de Castilla in 1614 as a convent and hospital, to which the church is attached. 

Iglesia de la Concepción
Church of La Concepción

This is an old baroque style church (18th century), of which the main doorway and the belfry crowning the building's façade have been preserved. The latter has two sections and was fully restored at the end of 2012.

The interior consists of a single large nave, roofed by a dome on pendentives in the chancel.
