Capilla Auxiliar de Nuestra Señora del Rocío
Nuestra Señora del Rocío Auxiliary Chapel

An old, small farmhouse that currently houses the seat of the Confraternity of Our Lady of El Rocío. This religious building, now in disrepair, was decorated by Santiago del Campo. It was initially a farmhouse, that was later used a parish run by the Capuchin friars until the construction of the San Rafael Arcángel Church.

The first stone was laid on 25 June 1928. The church was erected under Cardinal Eustaquio Ilundain and Esteban, commonly known as Cardinal Ilundain. His coat of arms appears on the main door. 

Ermita Nuestra Señora del Castillo
Shrine to Nuestra Señora del Castillo

The Shrine to Our Lady of the Castle is the epitome of Mudejar religious architecture in Western Andalusia. This Christian temple was built next to the Castle’s former parade ground around the second half of the 14th century. This is evidenced by its declaration as a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931.

Chapel of Nuestra Señora de Guaditoca

The ancient 14th century shrine was built in the municipality of Azuaga and Enrique Infante de Aragón, Grand Master of the Order of Santiago, ceded part of the municipality of Azuaga to Guadalcanal on 10 April 1428.

Chapel of Santiago

The chapel is located a stone's throw from the Castle of Santiago. Its typically mudejar style construction dates from the late 14th or early 15th century. It is characterised by its rectangular floor plan with three naves, one of which was demolished in the 16th century.

Monasterio San Miguel de la Breña
San Miguel de la Breña Monastery

The Monastery is located on a privately-owned estate, a few kilometres from the town on the road leading to Malcocinado. This is all that remains of the former Basilio Monastery. The chapel, which is used as a warehouse of the current farmhouse, consists of a single nave divided into two sections, one with a barrel vault and the other with a dome.

The chapel is a construction built in several stages. Its oldest part is in the Mudejar style, with three naves, separated by pointed arches framed by an alfiz and a chancel roofed by a hemispherical dome decorated with murals.
