Seville enchants

Located in the upper part of the town, we cannot state with certainty its year of construction, as there are no data or records on it. From the church's death records, we can assume that the date of construction was between 1660 and 1670.

Reconstructed in 1938, the church is home to paintings and images from the 17th century and 18th century, transferred here from the now-extinct La Victoria Convent in Estepa, including the image of the patron saint of the town. 

The 17th-century Shrine to San Sebastián has been renovated several times in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The story behind this Shrine remains a mystery in many ways. It remains unclear how the image of Saint Sebastian came to Brenes, although it is thought that it may have come from a convent in Seville. The 16th-century sculpture, by an anonymous author, is used for religious purposes.

This Mudejar-style temple was built in the early 15th century. In 1758, the pillars and pointed arches were replaced with Tuscan pillars and semi-circular arches. The side doors were opened at that time, and the tower was renovated. The three-nave temple is divided into five sections with a square-ended presbytery. The naves have half-point arches supported by Tuscan columns.

This chapel is located in what is now a central street of our town, which was formerly known as Calle de San Benito.

This magnificent 18th-century regionalist building has neoclassical influences. It was listed as a Site of Cultural Interest on 5 July 2005 by Andalusian Ministerial Order 162/2005 of 5 July. Highlights include the Neo-Mudéjar-style courtyard, chapel and library. The palatial residence was renovated in the early 20th century, and later in the 1940s.

A 16th-century building, originally located on the outskirts of the city, and built on what could have been the Shrine to San Sebastian. Based on its floor plan, the building was likely Mudejar. It has always been closely tied to the Confraternity of the Vera-Cruz. During the 18th century, it was declared in ruins.
