Alcalá de Guadaíra-Puente de Carlos
Jesús Nazareno Bridge

Jesús Nazareno Bridge crosses the Guadaíra river on the stretch closest to the old town, where several roads converge since medieval times.

Casariche. Canteras romanas del Cerro Bellido
Roman Quarries of Cerro Bellido

At the top of Cerro Bellido, on the opposite side to the access, are the hollows formed by two large Roman "lapidicinae" stone quarries. Remains of pottery, buildings and metal tools used by the workers have been found there. A very steep slope separates the River Yeguas from the western part of the hill, and it is thought that thick Roman channels were placed across this slope to carry water.

Puente sobre el arroyo Riopudio
Bridge over River Pudio

The bridge consists of a single 4-metre-wide span with an elliptical masonry arch and large brick abutments. 

Given the type of arch, it is believed to have been built in the 18th century. It is used as a public road.
