El Saucejo. Fuente del Moro
La Mezquitilla Fountain or El Moro Fountain

The old Muslim arcade, which dates back to the 12th century, is located in the village of Mezquitilla. It seems to be evidence of the existence of a small Moorish village built around an oratory or Mosque. It is assumed to be from the Almohad period, as it shows clear similarities with other fountains built in the old kingdom of Seville.

Iglesia Conventual de San Francisco
San Francisco Conventual Church

This building underwent several renovations during the first half of the 18th century that proved insufficient. In the century’s middle years, the chapel was demolished and rebuilt, leading to the loss of any information about previous interventions. The construction of the new Church began in 1752 with donations from institutions and individuals. It was completed in 1758. 

Utrera. Fachada de la Capilla de San Bartolomé
San Bartolomé Chapel

Commonly known as the Chapel of Jesus the Nazarene, it was part of the Dominican convent of Saint Bartholomew, funded by Bartolomé López de Marchena. The convent, which was founded in 1542, was dedicated to the care and well-being of the body and spirit. The chapel was built in the 17th century and underwent extensive renovations in the second half of the 18th century. 

Utrera. Espadaña de la Capilla de la Santísima Trinidad
Santísima Trinidad Chapel

The Confraternity of the Trinity built the chapel in the early 18th century (1719-1723) to worship their titular images.

Aguadulce. Fachada de la Iglesia de San Bartolomé
San Bartolomé Church

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.

Iglesia del Convento del Espíritu Santo
Espíritu Santo Conventual Church

The church was the former convent of the Priests of the Holy Spirit. It has been argued that the community of the Holy Spirit was established in the mid-16th century. A congregation of priests operated the Home for Foundlings lived in the convent until its secularisation in the 19th century. The Sisters of the Cross have occupied the convent since 1939.
