The Santa María del Águila Church shares a common feature with other Sevillian Mudejar-style parish churches from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Capilla Nuestra Señora del Rosario
Nuestra Señora del Rosario Chapel

There are two different versions regarding the origin of this temple. The first speaks of the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a baker in “Capita” street, which pushed the parish priest, Primitivo Tarancón Gallo, to erect this temple in a nearby place. The parish priest is again the protagonist in the second version.

Iglesia del Convento de Las Marroquíes
Las Marroquíes Conventual Church

This single-nave church is covered with a remarkable Mudejar-style frame from 1596. It is accessed through the entrance located on the right wall. The angled bell gable on the entrance dates back to 1760. It has a baroque decoration with a moulded frieze, pendants, polychrome blue tiles on white walls and bricks, crowned by a curved split pediment around the top and a wrought-iron cross.

Santa Florentina Convent

The Santa Florentina Convent is one of the first Dominican convents in Andalusia. The original building and foundations date back to the second half of the sixteenth century. Today, it comprises several buildings from different periods, mostly the 17th and 18th centuries.

Écija-Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Valle
Shrine to Nuestra Señora del Valle

The Shrine, as it is today, is the result of extensive renovations that started in 1670 and were completed in the 18th century. The building was initially a small quadrifront temple to house the transept. The windows were subsequently closed, and several outbuildings were added to the structure. This small building wraps around the central hall, covered with a dome on squinches.
