Royal Parish Church of Santa María Magdalena

The old parish church of Santa María Magdalena must have been built on top of an old mosque. In the time of King Peter I, as a result of the strong earthquake of 1355, it was rebuilt in the Gothic-Mudejar style similar to other churches in the town.

Palace of San Telmo

The Palace of San Telmo was built in 1682 to house the Seminary College of the University of Mareantes. In 1849 it became the residence of the Dukes of Montpensier, who completed the north tower and built the entrance to the hallway, the east wing and the ballroom.

Monastery of San Clemente

The convent of San Clemente is a piece of the towns's history. On the one hand, it contains the memories of important events in the Arab world and, on the other, the history and art of the town.

Monastery of Santa Rosalía

It has been governed by the Capuchin Franciscans since its inauguration in 1724. Its church is baroque. The interior, which forms a Latin cross plan, is very richly decorated, characteristic of the Baroque period of the second half of the 18th century, with great sumptuousness and a profusion of decorative pieces, which contrasts with the austerity of the nuns.

Iglesia del hospital de la paz
Church of the Hospital de la Paz

It is known as St. John of God because it belongs to the hospital of this hospitable Order. The baroque façade of this 16th century church, right opposite the Divino Salvador College, with its two bell towers, which had to be renovated after the Lisbon earthquake by Matías de Figueroa, hides a delicious interior.

Convent of Santa Ángela de la Cruz

The Convent of Santa Ángela de la Cruz is the headquarters of the Hermanas de la Santa Cruz, a community founded by Santa Ángela de la Cruz, a religious sister who stood out for her exceptional social work in various smallpox epidemics. She was beatified in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.

Church of San Ildefonso

The early temple must have been built around the middle of the 14th century, responding to the predominant Mudejar aesthetic in the churches of Seville at that time. The passage of time and the damage caused by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake forced its demolition and subsequent reconstruction, which was completed in October 1841. The neoclassical-style church has two portals.
