Capilla de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación
Chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación

The chapel belongs to the Confraternity of the Holy Christ of the True Cross, Our Lady of the Incarnation and Saint Mary Magdalene. Despite being a modern building, it is home to a neoclassical altarpiece with the images of the Holy Christ of the True Cross (17th century) and Our Lady of the Incarnation (18th century).

Iglesia de Santa María de la Encarnación
Church of Santa María de la Encarnación

This church is of the tower-façade type, of which there are several in the diocese of Seville. It attracts attention because of its originality, specifically because of the marked contrast between the whiteness of its walls and the decorative stone and brick motifs on the main doorway and other parts of the façade.

Umbrete. Capilla de San Bartolomé
Chapel of San Bartolomé

This is a rectangular church with a wooden coffered ceiling and a gabled roof. Inside you can find two altarpieces, one of which is presided over by the 18th century image of the Candelera and the other by San Bartolomé (18th century). Among the canvases, there is a Pietà, from the 17th century, and San Cristóbal Crucificado (Saint Christopher Crucified), from the 18th century.
 

Olivares. Campanario de la Colegiata de Santa María de las Nieves
Collegiate Church of Santa María de Las Nieves

This church was initially a chapel and family pantheon built by the 2nd Count of Olivares. His son, Gaspar, succeeded in having it elevated to the status of collegiate church through a papal decree. This allowed the church to operate independently from the Archdiocese of Seville.

Iglesia de Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción
Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción Church

The impressive pictorial decoration from the 18th century makes this Church an artistic landmark. The Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church was completed in 1646. It has always had strong ties with the Real Hospital de Pobres Enfermos de la Asunción, a charity hospital. 

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario
Church of Nuestra Señora del Rosario

The church is of modern construction. One of the most outstanding features is the main altarpiece, a modern work, which houses the image of the Virgin after whom the church is named, also modern, plus a canvas of San Antonio de Padua and a crucifix in the attic, both from the 18th century. 

Écija-Iglesia de los Descalzos
Concepción Church (Los Descalzos)

This church is considered one of the most significant Baroque buildings in the province of Seville and a jewel of Ecijan Baroque. The Limpia Concepción de Nuestra Señora Church (Los Descalzos) was renovated between 2006 and 2009, under the “Baroque Andalusia” programme of the Andalusian Government. The church had remained closed for 30 years until then.
