Seville enchants

Listed as a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC)

This large, 40-metre tall tower was built in 1760-1766 as part of the Victoria Church in Estepa (Seville). The Convent was home to a community of the Order of the Minimal Fathers of Saint Francis of Paola since 1562. 

The Alcázar de la Puerta de Sevilla is located at the Plaza de Blas Infante. The Alcázar or fortified palace stands over the Puerta de Sevilla, making the compound virtually unassailable. 

The Church of Santa María la Mayor is in the Mudejar style and was built in the 13th century, with additions from the 16th and 17th centuries. The church consists of three naves covered with alfarje roofs (Mudejar roofs) and separated by horseshoe arches supported by pillars and four paired columns.

Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) in 2001

The Santa María la Mayor Church is also home to Estepa’s Museum of Sacred Art, located on the Cerro de San Cristobal.

The Church sits inside the walled compound of Estepa Castle, next to the Santa Clara and San Francisco convents.

On 10 October 1548, Pope Paul III issued a Papal Bull authorising the construction of a “Studium Generale” in Osuna, dedicated to the Pure and Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mary. Juan Téllez de Girón, 4th Count of Ureña and father of the First Duke of Osuna, requested the authorisation to found a Residential College and a University similar to the one in Alcalá de Henares on his lands.

Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985.

This archaeological site from the 12th and 13th centuries consists of a rectangular building that once was a “hammam”, a public bathhouse. All that remains above ground level is a rectangular structure measuring 8 metres long by 4 metres wide that was the warm room.
