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.

Iglesia Parroquial de San Sebastián
San Sebastián Parish Church

The origin of the San Sebastián Church is unclear, although it was already mentioned in 1498.

The temple, which has a basilica plan, was built in the 16th century according to the design of the Genoese architect Vicente Boyo.

It consists of one nave and two aisles, as well as side chapels. Worthy of note are the pulpit, the high altar and the portals.

Marchena- Iglesia de San Miguel
San Miguel Church

The temple is somewhat removed from the town’s walled historic quarters. When it was built in the 15th century, it was meant to be a shrine to the Archangel St Michael.

Although it has a core area that is Mudejar, it has undergone multiple renovations, especially in the 18th century, when the choir’s side chapels were added.

Paradas. Iglesia Parroquial de San Eutropio

This church is, without a doubt, the most significant building in Paradas. In the mid-15th century, Juan Ponce de León, Count of Paradas, laid the first stone of the old church over which the current one stands.

The San Pedro Church has a white façade and a welcoming interior. Built in 1859, it was restored in 1998 with funds from the Archbishop of Seville, Coripe Town Council and generous donations by parishioners.

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.
