La Puebla de Cazalla-Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Las Virtudes
Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes Church

The Parish Church of Our Lady of Virtues is a clear example of the historical path of La Puebla de Cazalla. The Church dates back to the 16th century, when Juan Téllez de Girón, Duke of Osuna, ordered its construction under her advocacy. Both the fortress and the Castle were part of the estate of the Ducal House of Osuna. Consequently, the Duke decided that the town should be repopulated. 

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church

The Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church was founded in the 18th century on the site of 16th-century Shrine to Cristo de la Sangre. A few Gothic-Mudejar elements from the Shrine still can be seen. 

The Marquises of Estepa used the temple’s crypt as their pantheon for many centuries.

Ermita del Cristo de Los Remedios
Chapel of El Cristo de Los Remedios

Inside the chapel are the images of San Antonio and San Pablo (18th century), from the now disappeared monastery of San Pablo de la Breña.

From the late 19th century, with a rectangular floor plan, its central nave is roofed by a half-barrel vault with ribbed arches and the two side naves by groin vaults.

Iglesia de Santa María
Santa Maria Church

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.

Shrine to Nuestro Padre Jesús el Nazareno

The Shrine is located on Jesus Street. This small building was rebuilt in 1888 according to a plaque on the west front.

It has a single altarpiece in the apse, decorated with baroque motifs that have been restored.

Iglesia del Convento de Las Teresas (Clausura)
San José Conventual Church (Las Teresas)

The Convent of Las Teresas is located in the former palace of the Counts of Palma, a fascinating Mudejar building erected in the 14th and 15th centuries.
