Benacazon-Capilla de la Soledad
La Soledad Chapel

Although the origins of this chapel are unknown, it is thought that a charity hospital dedicated to the San Sebastian martyr stood on this site. The Confraternity has a rulebook from 1879 that is a copy of an earlier one from 1584.

Pendiente
Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Fátima Church

The church was built in the mid-20th century by the Osuna City Council for a new district. It was blessed in 1953. The temple is dedicated Our Lady of Fatima to commemorate the presence of her image in Osuna when she travelled through Spain. Her image presides over the high altar.

Osuna-Iglesia de Santo Domingo
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church (Santo Domingo Parish)

In 1513, the 4th Count of Ureña gifted the old San Sebastián Chapel and the adjoining charity hospital to the friars of the Order of Preachers so that they could found their convent. The Count had it recorded that the Chapel should not be demolished but rather incorporated into the new church. Its construction was completed on 7 March 1547.

Pendiente
Santa Clara Church

This convent was founded in 1550 by the wife of the 4th Count of Ureña, María de la Cueva. It was initially located in the southern part of the town. However, the Poor Clare sisters did not consider the venue very suitable. They exchanged the convent for building and properties on La Huerta Street in 1559, where it still stands today. 

Ermita de Santa Ana Osuna
Shrine to Santa Ana

The Shrine to Santa Ana is located on the outskirts of Osuna. It was initially a convent founded in the first half of the 16th century by Maria de la Cueva, the wife of the 4th Count of Ureña, and run by the Poor Clare sisters. The nuns moved to their monastery on La Huerta Street in 1599 given that the Shrine was in an uninhabited place.

Marchena-Iglesia San Sebastián
San Sebastian Church

Marchena’s San Sebastián Church was built outside the walled compound. It was initially intended as a Shrine to Saint Sebastian, the town’s patron saint.

Marchena-Iglesia de San Pedro Mártir o de Santo Domingo
San Pedro Mártir Church or Santo Domingo Church

The Church is actually dedicated to St Peter Martyr. However, since it has traditionally belonged to the Dominican Order, it is commonly known as Santo Domingo. It was part of the Convent founded in 1517 by Rodrigo Ponce de León, Lord of Marchena and Duke of Arcos. The two side chapels were lost, and only the large central nave still exists.
