Valencina-Vista aérea de la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Estrella
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.

Iglesia de Santa María
Santa Maria Church

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.

Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church

This church, consisting of a nave and two aisles, was completed in 1510 in a simple Gothic style with a few Mudéjar elements. Three chapels were added later in the 16th and 17th centuries. The entire church is vaulted. The underground passages that run the length of the church converge on an underground crypt that might have been a Christian refuge during the Moorish rule.

This baroque-style church was built in the last quarter of the 18th century to replace the earlier 16th-century, Seville Mudéjar-Gothic-style church destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. It was built by Pedro Silva and Pedro José Díaz in 1760-1762.
