Osuna-Vista de la Colegiata de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Osuna
La Colegiata, Iglesia de la Asunción

The Osuna’s Collegiate Church is a jewel of Renaissance architecture. Founded by Juan Téllez Girón, 4th Count of Ureña, it replaced the old medieval parish church. It is unclear who the architects were.

Utrera. Fachada del Palacio de Vistahermosa
Town Hall - Palace of the Counts of Vistahermosa

The building where the municipal offices are currently located is an excellent example of the stately houses that proliferated Utrera throughout the 18th century.

Écija-Iglesia Parroquial de la Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz Parish Church

Although the Church was built between 1776 and 1836 on the remains of a building destroyed in 1755 in Lisbon earthquake, there are still decorative and building elements that date back to the Visigothic era and the Arab invasion. 

Gerena. Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time.

La Purísima Concepción Parish Church

This Renaissance church was built in the 18th century to accommodate the order of Benedictine monks. It was the monks themselves who brought the beautiful 16th century font to the church. At the top of the twenty-metre-high bell tower, there are four bells named San Antonio, Jesús, José and María, in homage to the Holy Family.

The Nuestra Señora de las Nieves Parish Church is a noteworthy temple that began to be built in the early 14th century. A façade-tower and a magnificent Gothic main altarpiece from around 1500 was added in the third quarter of the 16th century.

Aguadulce. Puente de Piedra
Stone Bridge

Aguadulce's Renaissance Stone Bridge connected the regions of Estepa and Osuna.

This five-span bridge over the River Blanco dates back to 1596. It was built to prevent the people of Aguadulce from wading across the river at times of flooding with the inevitable drownings.
