Cascadas del Hueznar

Seville enchants

A neoclassical temple built in the fifteenth century. It has interesting decorative elements, sculptures and paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. Its origins may likely date back to a shrine to Our Lady of Consolation built here in the first half of the fifteenth century. A cluster of houses inhabited by day labourers sprang up around it.

The church, which is accessed through a porticoed courtyard, has a rectangular plan with three naves divided into four sections, separated by octagonal pillars with moulding that support on pointed arches. The naves are covered with a panelled coffered ceiling with Mudejar decoration in the central nave and a hanging ceiling on the side naves. 

The Sevillian town of Aznalcóllar is home to the Zawiya, an Islamic, religious monument unique in Andalusia. These buildings, commonly found in the Maghreb and West Africa, were used as Islamic schools or monasteries.

The Hacienda de Torrijos was not originally intended to be a religious building. Its past as an ancient Moorish military fortress is evidenced by the presence of walls and towers. The hacienda is considered a cultural asset. 

The church was declared a National Historic and Artistic Monument by Decree of 2 February 1979 (BOE of 9 April 1979). The temple, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, is commonly known as Santa Maria de la Mesa because it stands on a hill. 

The Shrine is located adjacent to the castle of Setefilla, a Muslim fortress on a hill of the same name, mentioned by Alfonso X as Septefilia or Sitre Fillas.

This brick masonry building consists of a single nave divided into five sections and a quadrangular main chapel. A square chapel is attached to the right side, and the Sacramental Chapel is on the Epistle side.

The two-level, ashlar tower capped with a pyramidal spire is on the Gospel wall.
