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.

Écija-Iglesia de los Descalzos
Concepción Church (Los Descalzos)

This church is considered one of the most significant Baroque buildings in the province of Seville and a jewel of Ecijan Baroque. The Limpia Concepción de Nuestra Señora Church (Los Descalzos) was renovated between 2006 and 2009, under the “Baroque Andalusia” programme of the Andalusian Government. The church had remained closed for 30 years until then.

Écija-Iglesia de Santiago
Santiago Church

The church, which is accessed through a porticoed courtyard, has a rectangular plan with three naves divided into four sections, separated by octagonal pillars with moulding that support on pointed arches. The naves are covered with a panelled coffered ceiling with Mudejar decoration in the central nave and a hanging ceiling on the side naves. 

Convento de San Sebastián
San Sebastián Convent

The building from the early 18th century has a Latin cross plan divided into five sections and chapels between the inner buttresses. The Sacristy is located at the apse next to the Epistle side. The three-level tower and spire are situated at the west end of this same side.

Ayuntamiento
Town Hall

The Town Hall was built in 1533 over the Puerta de Teba arch.

The whitewashed walls are graced by a double row of balconies. Worthy of note is an arcade supported on embedded double columns. Next to arcade are the remains of a former mirador overlooking the Plaza. Two, long and wide balconies with pink carved stipites support the screws that go into the wall.

Iglesia de la Victoria
Victoria Church

This 16th-century building was the conventual church of the Paulist Fathers. Nowadays, due to continual renovation works carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries and, especially in recent times (1965-1974), only the apse and the transept have been preserved. The small chapel to Saint Francis of Paola with baroque plasterwork inside has also been conserved.

Iglesia del Convento del Espíritu Santo
Espíritu Santo Conventual Church

The church was the former convent of the Priests of the Holy Spirit. It has been argued that the community of the Holy Spirit was established in the mid-16th century. A congregation of priests operated the Home for Foundlings lived in the convent until its secularisation in the 19th century. The Sisters of the Cross have occupied the convent since 1939.
