Iglesia del Carmen
Carmen Church

The 16th-century Church originally belonged to the convent of the Barefoot Carmelite Fathers. However, the remains from that time are negligible due to the extensive renovation carried out in the 18th century, and the reconstruction works between 1881 and 1883 that gave it a neoclassical feel. 

Aznalcóllar. Molino de Viento con arboleda delante
Windmill

At the top of the village, like a soldier on guard, straight as a rod, stands the “El Molino de Viento”, known today as “Torre de Viento”.

The Navarrese manuscript states that it was built and used as a windmill before 1750.

Given its location, it has been argued that it may have been a medieval defensive tower, later reused as a windmill.

Carmona-Iglesia Prioral de Santa María de la Asunción y su Exposición Permanente
Santa María de la Asunción Priory Church and Permanent Exhibition

This Priory Church is the epitome of Carmona’s religious architecture and the town’s largest building.
The earlier Almohad mosque was demolished in 1424 to build the Christian temple, the first phase of which was completed in 1518. The ablutions courtyard remains.

Écija-Iglesia de Santa Bárbara
Santa Barbara Church

The church has three naves separated by semi-circular arches on pillars; the central nave is covered by a barrel vault, with groin vaults on the side naves. Although it is mostly a 19th century, neoclassical building, parts of the church are from earlier times. Legend has it that the current structure is built over a Roman palace.

Iglesia de San Carlos El Real
San Carlos El Real Church

This former church of the Society of Jesus dates from the 17th century. When the Jesuits left, the convent was abandoned, and the church was stripped of its most interesting works. The main altarpiece was found in the parish of El Saucejo. The entire church became the property of the State -hence the epithet Real.

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.
