Ermita Veracruz Albaida
Shrine to Vera Cruz

Originally, this shrine was part of the 16th-century San Sebastian Hospital. Only the pointed-arch doorway leading to the courtyard remains from the original 17th-century shrine. The building was renovated in 1896, but owing to its poor state of repair, it was torn down and rebuilt in 1903.

Albaida del Aljarafe. Detalle del campanario de la Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church

The first written references about this church date back to 1509, although it appears that it was built after the conquest of the town by Christian troops in 1302. In fact, the original parish church must have been built in the Mudejar style, although nothing remains of it as it was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

Camas. Iglesia Parroquial Santa María de Gracia con rotonda delante
Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church

The present building stands on the site of two earlier churches, built in the 16th and 17th centuries, respectively. Although the construction work began in 1723, it was not completed until 1800.

Valencina de la Concepción-Fachada de la Capilla de la Hacienda de Torrijos
Hacienda de Torrijos Chapel 

The Hacienda de Torrijos was not originally intended to be a religious building. Its past as an ancient Moorish military fortress is evidenced by the presence of walls and towers. The hacienda is considered a cultural asset. 

Umbrete. Campanario de la Iglesia de Ntra Sra de Consolación
Church of Nuestra Señora de Consolación

The church of Nuestra Señora de Consolación, patron saint of Umbrete, is one of the best examples of the Sevillian architecture known as "popular baroque", as opposed to the "cultured baroque" style used by the main Andalusian architects during the 17th century.

Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Estrella

As regards the original church we only have evidence that it existed in 1609, since the altarpiece currently in the tabernacle was made at that time, and the chapel also dates from that period. As for the current church, we know that it was restored in 1731 by Diego Antonio Díaz and the general style of the church is typical of this period.

Umbrete. Capilla de San Bartolomé
Chapel of San Bartolomé

This is a rectangular church with a wooden coffered ceiling and a gabled roof. Inside you can find two altarpieces, one of which is presided over by the 18th century image of the Candelera and the other by San Bartolomé (18th century). Among the canvases, there is a Pietà, from the 17th century, and San Cristóbal Crucificado (Saint Christopher Crucified), from the 18th century.
