Nuestra Señora de las Nieves Parish Church

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.

Castillo de Cote
Castle of Cote

The imposing Gothic castle of Cote was built at the end of the 13th century by order of Alfonso X, and handed over, together with Morón, to the military order of Alcántara in 1297, which led to the creation of commandery in the area.

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.

This church, consisting of a nave and two aisles, was completed in 1510 in a simple Gothic style with a few Mudéjar elements. Three chapels were added later in the 16th and 17th centuries. The entire church is vaulted. The underground passages that run the length of the church converge on an underground crypt that might have been a Christian refuge during the Moorish rule.

Iglesia de San Francisco
San Francisco Church

Originally a 15th-century Gothic building, the appearance was significantly altered in the 17th and 18th centuries to become a baroque-neoclassical Church. The central nave is covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, the side naves with a groin vault and the presbytery by a dome on pendentives.
