Ermitas

Almensilla-Fachada de la Ermita de San Diego de Alcalá
Shrine to San Diego de Alcalá

The construction of the Shrine to Saint Didacus of Alcalá began in 1967 to house his eponymous statue that anonymously arrived in Almensilla in that same year. The locals raised the necessary funds to buy the land on which the shrine now stands. The first pilgrimage took place that same year. The image of the patron saint was taken in procession to the chapel.

Benacazón-Ermita de Talhara
Talhara Shrine

Ruins are all that remain of the 15th-century Mudejar-style shrine at Castilleja de Talhara farmstead. It is still a remarkable building, given its refined proportions, quality of design and workmanship on door and windows. The shrine was built with bricks and rammed earth, and the windows still preserve some ceramic tiles.
