Capilla del Cristo de la Veracruz
Chapel of Cristo de la Veracruz

This small shrine on the outskirts of the town was established in the 15th century by a Franciscan community; however, there is very little data available. Given its location on the outskirts, the Chapel was used as a charity hospital in 1601 during an epidemic.

Iglesia Santa María de La Mota
Santa María de la Mota Church

The Santa María de La Mota Church is located within Marchena’s old Islamic citadel (Alcázar). This walled area, situated in the town’s highest point, is segregated from the rest of the city; hence, its name “La Mota”. It was built around 1356, after King Fernando IV of Castile bestowed the Señorío de Marchena upon Fernando Ponce de León on 18 December 1309.

La Purísima Concepción Parish Church

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.
