Marchena-Puerta de Morón
La Puerta de Morón

Marchena’s Morón Gate was one of the gateways to the old walled city in medieval times.

Commonly known as “Los Cuatro Cantillos”, this gate had a military purpose and was usually closed. Access to the town was through a pointed horseshoe arch framed by an elaborately carved stone alfiz, which looks somewhat different from the original one.

La Puebla de los Infantes. Interior de la Ermita de Santa Ana
Chapel of Santa Ana

This is an old religious building which, given its construction characteristics, can be dated to the late 15th century.

However, its original style is half hidden due to the alterations it underwent during the 18th century, and also due to the changes made at the end of the 1970s.

La Puebla de Cazalla-Pasaje del Arquillo
Pasaje del Arquillo

This narrow alleyway is 3 metres wide and 20 metres long, if the section under the arch is not included, in which case it would be 25 m. This alleyway is of particular interest as a unique space within the urban fabric. It provides access to Plaza Cardenal Espínola and is one of the most charming and historical spots within the urban core.

La Almona

This building was built in 1307 and was originally the supply house of the Master of the Order of Santiago.

Architecturally, it is a slightly trapezoid-shaped ashlar construction. It consists of two floors, each of them formed by a nave roofed with a wooden framework.

Iglesia de Santa María de La Asunción-Vista Torre Reloj y Torre Iglesia Santa María Asuncion
Church of Santa María de La Asunción

On the site now occupied by the parish church, the former Muslim fortress of the Almohad period was built, the only remaining feature of which is a small piece of wall, located next to the sanctuary of the church, which has a pointed horseshoe arch framed by an alfiz.

Cañada Rosal-Callejón de Flores Pistón
Flores Pistón Alley

A medium-sized alley next to the Santa Ana Parish Church. Its charm lies in its traditional structure, which consists of a series of brick arches against whitewashed walls. It is usually decorated with plants and pots cared for by the neighbours.
