Marinaleda. Azulejo en la fachada de la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza
Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza

This is a single-nave building that shows classicist-style architectural features but with later alterations that detract from its original appearance. Currently, its interior is covered with a plasterboard ceiling. 

Marchena- Iglesia de San Miguel
San Miguel Church

The temple is somewhat removed from the town’s walled historic quarters. When it was built in the 15th century, it was meant to be a shrine to the Archangel St Michael.

Although it has a core area that is Mudejar, it has undergone multiple renovations, especially in the 18th century, when the choir’s side chapels were added.

Gerena. Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time.
