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.

Monumento a Cervantes y las Dos Doncellas
Monument to Cervantes and the Two Maidens

This magnificent pyramid with mezzo-relievos of Cervantes and Two Maidens was made by the sculptor Manuel Castaño Beza. It commemorates the time when Miguel de Cervantes stayed in Castiblanco on his way to Extremadura to work as a royal tax collector. He spent the night in the town and named Castilblanco at the beginning of his novel The Two Maidens, placing its name on the map.

Nuestra Señora del Monte Chapel

The current chapel stands on the same site as the original one, which must have been a modest single-nave Mudejar building, preceded or surrounded by porticoes, and flanked by outbuildings such as the house of the santero and the hostelry, where the people of Cazalla worshipped the Virgen del Monte at least since the mid-sixteenth century.
