Seville enchants

A three-section belfry stands out among the whitewashed houses of Aguadulce. The church of San Bartolomé appears before the eyes of drivers and walkers, proudly displaying its bell tower, where the bells chime beside a balcony where the luckiest visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the town.

The Santa María la Mayor Church is also home to Estepa’s Museum of Sacred Art, located on the Cerro de San Cristobal.

The Church sits inside the walled compound of Estepa Castle, next to the Santa Clara and San Francisco convents.

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 Santa Maria de las Nieves Church was built in the fourteenth century; however, it had to be rebuilt after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake as the naves collapsed. The side chapels on the Epistle side, the choir and the belfry were also built during this period. The architects Pedro de San Martín, Tomás Zambrano and Pedro de Silva carried out the reconstruction.

The Shrine to the Purísima Concepción is a temple consecrated to the Purísima Concepción de María Coronada. Documentary evidence shows that it was built in the 18th century, more specifically 1712. 

The origin of this former hospital institution and later convent, dates from the early fifteenth century.
