Santa Clara Church

This convent was founded in 1550 by the wife of the 4th Count of Ureña, María de la Cueva. It was initially located in the southern part of the town. However, the Poor Clare sisters did not consider the venue very suitable. They exchanged the convent for building and properties on La Huerta Street in 1559, where it still stands today. 

Pendiente
Cuesta Marruecos

One of Osuna’s most beautiful streets is this steep street located at the foot of the baroque Merced Tower. The walk up the street, lined with buildings made with ashlars from Osuna’s quarries, leads to the Camino de la Buena Vista with excellent panoramic views of the town and Seville’s countryside.

Osuna-Cilla del Cabildo Colegial
Cilla del Cabildo Colegial

The old Cilla del Cabildo Colegial, today the Parish House of the city, was built in 1773, according to the date engraved on the façade. Built by the architect Antonio Ruiz Florindo, it resembles more a palace than an industrial building, where the grain and fruits paid as a tithe to the church was stored.

Marchena-Iglesia San Sebastián
San Sebastian Church

Marchena’s San Sebastián Church was built outside the walled compound. It was initially intended as a Shrine to Saint Sebastian, the town’s patron saint.

Marchena-Iglesia y Convento de San Agustín
San Agustín Church and Convent 

It was built in the mid-17th century in the style of the transition period from Baroque to Neoclassical, with influences from Juan de Herrera and Latin American art. It is a very unique style that is unlike most of the churches in this area, due to both its massive size and unique aesthetics and finishing elements. 

Convento Purísima Concepción

The monastery was founded in 1631 by Rodrigo Ponce de León, 4th Duke of Arcos. For seven years, the Convent was relocated in various outbuildings until the Lords of Marchena decided to place within the ducal estate.
