Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Valme
Shrine to our Lady of Valme

The Dukes of Montepensier commissioned the reconstruction of this Mudejar style building in 1859 according to the design of the architect Balbino Marrón. It consists of a single nave with an 18th-century baroque high altar and a painting Saint Ferdinand in front of the Virgin Mary by Luis de Oñate.

Ermita de San Benito
Shrine to San Benito

The original shrine, of which only the chapel remains, was from the 13th century. It was renovated in the 14th century with the addition of the sacristy and the portal. It was later renovated again in the 18th century. It has been restored in 1842, 1861, 1887 and 1920. Despite these works, it has maintained its Mudejar-style.

Carmona-Iglesia Santiago
Santiago Church

The church is thought to have been built in the 14th century under King Pedro I, the Cruel. It was built over a former mosque, the minaret of which remains. It was further enhanced with new elements in the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries. 

Carmona-Casa Palacio Marqués de San Martín
Palatial House of the Marquis of San Martín

Currently, this palace belongs to the Marquis of Caltójar. It has been handed down from one generation to the next since the times of King Fernando III, “the Saint”, who conquered Seville.

La Puebla de los Infantes. Fachada trasera de la Ermita de Santiago
Chapel of Santiago

The chapel is located a stone's throw from the Castle of Santiago. Its typically mudejar style construction dates from the late 14th or early 15th century. It is characterised by its rectangular floor plan with three naves, one of which was demolished in the 16th century.

Nuestra Señora del Robledo Chapel

The chapel is a construction built in several stages. Its oldest part is in the Mudejar style, with three naves, separated by pointed arches framed by an alfiz and a chancel roofed by a hemispherical dome decorated with murals.

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.
