When we speak about Holy Week in our region, we are speaking about
popular religiousness and self-controlled emotions but also about art,
tradition and culture. This guide seeks to present some aspects related to the richness of sacred art in Aljarafe, centering on the elements
of patrimonial interest, its brotherhoods, its history and that of the represented municipalities.
Passional cycle has its own expressions in Aljarafe and that makes
this region special for our visitors. To begin with, nothing better
than Aljarafe’s Way of the Cross which takes place in Santiponce,
the night of the first Lent Saturday and which has been declared as
Andalusian National Interest Touristic Feast. Another outstanding
moment is the one lived with the Soledad from Huévar Brotherhood,
where more than a hundred women, dressed with mantilla, accompany a reclining Christ and his Mother. We should not forget the liturgical play developed in Coria del Río between Good Friday and Easter
Sunday, which ends up with the well-kown “Abrazos” of Resurrected
Christ and Virgin of Solitude.
A distinctive feature of this region is the importance conceded to the
celebration of Resurrection. It is shown in the “Carreritas” in Pilas, the
“Vuelta” in Castilleja de la Cuesta, “Custodias” processions in Espartinas
and Olivares or “Purecita” and “Niño de Dios” in Benacazón.
These and other peculiarities make Aljarafe an attractive destiny during its
Holy Week and they invite us to approach other ways of representing Passion
within religious cycle from a festive, cultural and religious point of view.
Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy the richness of Aljarafe´s cultural patrimony, that patrimony linked to churches, chapels and monasteries, its gastronomic and environmental richness and also its high
ethnological and aesthetic values.
The region’s great history has left an influence in its landscape. We can
highlight the group of Mudéjar churches in the region with its artistic
value which are an attraction by themselves. Thus, in municipalities
as Sanlúcar la Mayor, Aznalcázar or Benacazón, we can find works in
bricks and interlacing patterns typical of this kind of architecture. To
conclude, we have chosen to stress the strong tradition in the making
of religious images in this region, which presents numerous artistic
jewels within its patrimony.
All this information is contained in the Guide you have in your hands.
Each double page is dedicated to one municipality. Central text develops main contents, while at the sides you will find useful indications
about the most interesting places to visit (on the left) and contact information, schedules and visit conditions (on the right). Furthermore,
at the end of the guide, there is additional information, a directory, a
holidays calendar and a localization map.
Passion for Aljarafe is the result of an ambitious project which is completed with the creation of a database with more than 300 entries and
the creation of a Geographical Information System which will help future management of our patrimony. This hard work has required collaboration of those Council Halls adhered to the program, and also of
several Brotherhoods, which have kindly opened their doors to us. To
all of them, thanks a lot for their interest and collaboration.

Aznalcázar, located between Aljarafe and Rocío
Marshes in one of the hills above Guadiamar valley,
has in its surroundings a great environmental and
patrimonial wealth. Among urban elements we can
highlight Casa Grande, Pescadería Arch and the
walls. Casa Grande, (the current Council Hall) built
in s. XVII, shows the traditional structure with rooms
organized in two floors around the central courtyard.
Pescadería Arch, of Almohade origin (s XII), was
conceived as one of the doors in this town´s walls,
with a defensive aim. Its original structure was of a
bend access, although it was replaced later by the direct access it currently has. In the 18th century, an
upper floor was added with the aim of making it a
grain warehouse.
The so-called “Roman Bridge” can be seen from
town outskirts. Today, only five of the fourteen archs
which cross Guadiamar remains. Also, next to the
river, we can find Fuente Vieja 7 , a construction
from the 18th century, a clear example of Andalusian
civil baroque.
It is equally interesting to get to know the rich environmental patrimony in the surroundings of
this village with zones such as Pine Forests
at Aznalcázar, Green
Corridor at Guadiamar
River 4 , the Botanical
Garden in Buitrago and
we should not forget the
nearby Doñana Natural
and National Park.

St Paul Church 5 (End of 14th century or beginning of the15th century) is a clear instance
of sevillian mudéjar style). It has three sections
separated by cruciform pillars 2 , the headwall decorated with 16th and 17th century tiles. It can be highlighted because of its rich latticework decoration 1 . The tower is exempt,
and that is the reason why some researchers defend its past as the minaret of an ancient mosque. The first body of the tower appears in mudéjar style, although the bell tower was built in
the 13th century, as Antigua Virgin tiles, which
next to lateral door, indicate us.
On the inside, we can find Baby Jesus and St
Joseph images, ascribed to Martínez Montañés,
St Pablo Christ 6 , a 17th century sculpture and the painting called “Crucified Christ” by
Zurbarán’s workshop.

The Brotherhood of Santísimo Cristo del
Buen Fin, Mª Stma.de las Angustias, San Juan
Evangelista and Santiago Apóstol, has its see
at this church, founded in the 15th century and
which carries out its penitence station on Good
Friday. Titular images were painted by Antonio
Castillo Lastrucci, and these images replaced the
original ones by Martínez Montañés, which disappeared in a fire in 1932. The pallium and cloak
in Mª Stma de las Angustias are of great interest. Both works, by sevillian embroiderer Juan
Manuel Rodríguez Ojeda, date from between
1924 and 1926.

Santa María de las Nieves Church 1 was originally built in mudéjar style, with just one section. From this moment (15th century) the headwall is yet preserved, known as “Torre Mocha”.
Later on, the church underwent various reforms, as
the addings of a second section (17th century), facades and tower (18th century). On the inside, we
can highlight the sacramental chapel altarpiece,
by Martínez Montañez workshop (17th century),
and Christ image (15th cent). Benacazón’s Rocío
Brotherhood has its see at this church.
Vera Cruz y María Santísima de los Dolores
Brotherhood, with see at Vera Cruz chapel, was
founded in 1511. A little bit later, it built the Blood’s
Hospital, thus becoming a “blood” brotherhood.
Each Maundy Thursday, this Brotherhood performed its penitence station making a distinction between “light” and “blood” brothers, who whipped
themselves and whose wounds were cured at the
same hospital 2 . This was an usual practice in
Andalusian Holy Week until it was abolished in the
18th century. Vera Cruz Christ image is an anonymous 16th century sculpture with Renaissance
aesthetics whereas Dolores Virgin 4 is an 18th
century work, ascribed to Cristóbal Ramos.
Brotherhood of Mary’s Resurrection and Purity,
Holy Burial and María Stma. de la Soledad, with
see at Soledad Chapel, has its origin in 1584. Among
their images, Christ can be highlighted. It is an

in mudéjar style, it has undergone numerous reforms. Concerning the three section basilica-type floor

anonymous and articulated 16th century work
which, during the year, receives cult as crucified,
but it processes as Recumbent Christ.
Each Good Friday, the Brotherhood is represented at crucifixion square, Christ descending and
transfered to sepulcher, accompanied by the 40
hours sermon. This tradition, lost at the beginning of the 20th century, was recovered in 1995,
but now it takes place on a Holy Monday inside
the chapel. The sculpture of Christ Resurrected
disappeared during French invasion and
nowadays, every Easter Sunday, Inmaculada,
known as “Pureza de María” (“Purity of Maria”
o “Purecita”, y Niño Jesús (“Baby Jesus”) o “Niño
de Dios” (“Baby of God”) is taken on the shoulders of Brotherhood’s children in a festive environment. Previously, every Holy Sabbath Baby
Jesus is transferred to the church in a multitudinous act, where Benacazón inhabitants sing and
dance “sevillanas” showing joy for the announcement of Christ’s Resurrection.

Bormujos’ agricultural past has remained reflected in its shield where, on a green background,
the silhouette of a golden olive tree is highlighted,
yellow as the olive oil obtained from the rich olive
groves in Bormujos 4 5 . This rural economy
is seen reflected in the numerous estates which,
built in 16th and 17 th century, still remain today: Belén, La Peregrina, Marchalomar, Santo
Cristo de la Mata or Valencinilla del Hoyo 6 .
Among them, Santo Cristo de la Mata estate stands out. It receives its name from the image venerated in it and which, according to tradition, appeared at the end of the 17th in one of the
wells inside the estate.
In spite of the increasing prominence of this town
as a nearby residential zone for people working
in the capital, the locality still preserve its own
historical flavour. It
appears in Alfonso
X’s “repartimiento”
(distribution) when
Seville is taken in the
mid of 13th century,
together with 2 other
farmhouses conceded
to 200 nobelmen knights acknowledging the service provided by his father Fernando III in 1248

Guzmán family property in the beginning of the

(18th Century) 1 . It is a typical church with
the typical hall floor plan, three sections and
an “alfarje” (type of wooden latticework ceiling) cover. It is ascribed to Pedro de Silva,
being the main facade belfry one of the most
beautiful in Aljarafe. On the inside, the major
retable, dedicated to the Annunciation and
Trinity Dogma stands out and also those retables on the left lateral section. Two images of
Inmaculada, those of San Antonio de Padua,
Santo Domingo and San Cayetano and especially, the group of sculptures known as “St
Joseph with the baby” are of a high quality.

At this temple, the Brotherhood called Santo
Cristo de la Vera Cruz y María Santísima de
los Dolores, founded in the mid of the 14th
century, has its see. Christ’s image 2 is an
anonymous sculpture from the mid of the
17th century and is situated within sevillian
baroque school. Until 1994, the Christ processed on brothers’ shoulders but, since 1995, it
performs penitence station in a float. The image of the Virgin of Dolores, is an anonymous
sculpture of the 19th century.
The sacred art collection in Santa María la
Real Convent 3 is interesting. This temple was inaugurated in 1992 but it has several 17th century baroque retables inside as
well as some outstanding images, as the one
of Christ of “Atribulaciones”, work belonging
to the 16th century.

“Vuelta” Festival on Easter Sunday (declared as
National Interest Touristic Festival in Andalusia) adds
a special nuance to Castilleja de la Cuesta Holy Week.
It is a Festival staged by Santiago “de la Plaza” brotherhood and that of Gran Poder or “de la Calle Real”
1 . That day, both “reds” from la Plaza Brotherhood
and “light blues” from Calle Real Brotherhood, go on
a pilgrimage with their “Simpecados” through village streets, surrounded by the festive environment of
a procession with horsemen, flamenco women and
music. It is a tradition to take La Plaza Brotherhood’s
“Simpecado” in silver cart 3 , whereas the one belonging to Calle Real Brotherhood is taken by horses.
After “Simpecado” procession, at early afternoon, each
Brotherhood comes back to their temple to conclude
Holy Week with the holder’s procession in glory float.
In addition, Calle Real
Brotherhood carries out
the so-called “Vuelta on
Maundy Thursday” presided by “Simpecado” where “armaos” (men dressed
as romans), women with
“mantilla” and Nazarene
children with their masks
taken out. Later on,
“Armaos”
accompany
Christ during the “Good
Friday Madrugada” (Night parades).

First news about Santiago Apostle parish
church go back to 1370 2 , although their present look is due to important reforms performed
during 17th century. On the inside, fresco paintings covering the whole central section vault
and presbytery 4 call our attention. At the
presbyterium we also find the major, neogothic
stable. The Ntro Padre Jesús de los Remedios y
Ntra Sra de la Soledad Brotherhood has its see
at this parish church, founded by Santiago Order
and which carries out its penitence station on
Good Friday. Ntro Padre Jesús image is a work
by Marcelino Roldán, from the beginning of the
18th century, whereas Ntra Sra. de la Soledad is
an anonymous 16th century sculpture.
Inmaculada Concepción church 5 was born
as a chapel in the 15th century, coming to its
present parish church category in 1615 which
is preserved until today. It presents just one
section covered by a saddle roof with a spherical vault limited by four vertical planes at the
headwall. From its sacred art collection, paintings by Juan de Roelas (beginnings of the 17th
century) stand out. This parish church is the
see for Ntro Padre Jesús del Gran Poder and
María Stma de los Dolores Brotherhood, founded by Franciscans in 1487. Gran Poder image
8 is ascribed to Francisco Antonio Gijón’s circle, whereas Dolores Virgin is ascribed to Pedro
Roldán.

Coria del Río Holy Week is one of the biggest and
most popular in Aljarafe. It has processions every
single day of the week, completing all Passion
stages in a chronological manner. It is intensely experienced by neighbors and members of
Brotherhoods.
Every Palm Sunday, Stmo Cristo de la Salud en
su entrada en Jerusalén Brotherhood, founded
in 1998, parades from Ntra. Sra. de la Estrella
parish church 1 , Christ image is by Darío
Fernández (2001). From a chapel in the same parish church, Jesús Cautivo y Ntra. Sra. del Dulce
Nombre de María Brotherhood, founded in 1983,
parades. Captive 5 carving was carried out and
restored by Fernando Castejón in 1990. This same
author made the Virgin image in 1986.
From St Joseph parish church, Ntro Padre Jesús
de la Paz y Mª Stma de Gracia y Esperanza parish church group parades. Both images are also
works by Castejón. On Holy Wednesday, Ntro
Padre Jesús del Gran Poder y Ntra Sra. del

as the oldest processional Christ in the whole Seville province (1500, ascribed to Gil de
Siloé). Virgin sculpture is a work by Rafael
Barbero Medina from Granada (1953).
Between Good Friday and Easter Sunday Holy
Burial Brotherhood, Resurrected Christ and
Soledad Virgin march, founded in the 16th
century by sailors and fishermen. This brotherhood keeps representing part of an ancient and traditional allegorical religious play
that is started with the procession of both
Recumbent Virgin and Christ. When reaching
the parish church, Jesus image stays there
whereas the Virgin comes back to her chapel
to stand alone. At sunrise, the Virgin goes to
church in a Glory float, with no canopy and
with crimson instead of black cloak. There,
a resurrected Christ opens the doors for her,
merging both images in a simulated embrace
4 . The Recumbent Christ is a work by Luis
Peyré (20th century) whereas Resurrected
Christ is a work by Francisco Buiza. Soledad
Virgin 6 is an anonymous work dated at the
end of the 16th or at the beginning of the 17th
century.

can find a curious sculpture in the fluvial walk: it is a monument to the samurai Hasekura Tsunenaga,
Japanese ambassador before Philip III court who, in his way to Madrid, spent some time at the village. It
seems that, in his return, some of his companions decided to stay in Coria and the proof for that is that
more than six hundred people from Coria keep the surname “Japón” (Japan).

Remedios Estate
In Espartinas’ patrimony we can highlight Asunción
parish church 2 , a building of Mudéjar origin,
enlarged in the 18th century by Diego Antonio
Díaz (architect who projected archbishop’s palaces
in Umbrete and Seville). The bell tower dates from
that same Century, by Pedro de Silva. On the inside
we find the major stable, in baroque style with “rococo” and neo-gothic reforms, where Inmaculada’s
image stands out (18th century). The brotherhood of the Stmo Cristo de la Sangre y Mª Stma. de
los Dolores has its see in this church.
The Brotherhood first rules date from 1726 although
the corporation, as it is today, is first organized in
1938 thanks to the impulse given by Franciscans
of the Loreto Monastery. From that time, current
images were associated to the Brotherhood. Those
images belonged to the Vera Cruz Brotherhood.
Christ is an anonymous sculpture of unknown
date, while the Virgin, also anonymous, dates from
the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the
18th.
The Brotherhood performs its penitence station
every Holy Tuesday but it also plays a leading role
on Easter Sunday, parading a 17th century monstrance along with Dolores Virgin 4 that, this
way, is able to walk Espartina’s streets twice every
Holy Week. The Morning Good Friday Way of the
Cross is quite interesting. In it, brothers take Blood
Christ on their shoulders through village streets.

Espartina’s link with the making of religious
images has led to develop diverse initiatives at
the village such as the creation of a Imagery
Research and Development Center (CIDI) or
the holding of the biannual Religious Sculptures
National Exposition where Spanish makers of
religious images show their works and techniques. All that ends up with the opening of the
Imagery Didactic Museum in Los Remedios
Estate 5 in which the creative process involved in sculpting and modeling and the history of sevillian school are available for a better
understanding.
To conclude, we can highlight Santa María de
Loreto Monastery 1 3 , Aljarafe’s patron
saint. It is widely known that Franciscans built
it during the first half of the 16th century, under
dedication to Loreto Virgin. Current building is
dated from 17th century, reaching our time in a
good state of preservation. The church shows a
latin cross plan in just one section, covered by
a barrel vault. The most interesting large room
due to its artistic and religious content gives
onto the cloister: San Francisco Solano chapel where we find a great quality ivory crucifix, of Spanish Philippine origin. We also find
a great sacred art sample dating from the 17th
and 18th, in which a rich silverwork and goldsmithing collection stands out.

This village stands out thanks to its great Rocíorelated tradition, but also we can find other interesting aspects which are linked to its cultural
patrimony.
At Spain Square we find Virgen de Belén parish
church (16th century) 1 of late mudéjar style,
reformed in the 18th century due to its bad preservation state. It is a three section kneading
trough-covered temple which is separated by columns supporting rounded archs. It has 2 chapels
added to the main body, with half-orange domes.
Its double body tower stands out, ended in spire
with tiles, dated in 1711, this is the date when restoration works were probably finished.
On the inside, the major altar retable stands out
4 , in rococo style and it is presided by Belén
Virgin image (18th century) to which San Joaquín,
San José, Santa Ana and Santa Teresa sculptures
accompany. On the right section, we find a San
Ginés sculpture, the village patron, in whose honor a procession is celebrated in September. On
the opposite section, Ntra. Sra. Del Rosario presides a beautiful retable. The “Guadalupe virgin”
canvas (1716), which can be observed on the right
side of the presbitery and the oil painting “Santa
Catalina’s burial”, from Zurbarán’s school deserve special attention.
In the Belén virgin parish church has its see

los Dolores Brotherhood which performs
its penitence station each Good Friday. In
addition, the Dolores Virgin parades Gines’
streets on Easter Sunday in Glory procession. The Brotherhood has its origin in the
Disciplinantes Brotherhood which has existed in the parish church since 1536. The
Stmo Vera Cruz Christi 2 is an anonymous
16th century sculpture, whereas the Dolores
Virgin 5 image was done by Juan de Astorga
in 1816. The fire that in 1990 affected the high
altar provoked a great harm on the titular images, especially on that of the Dolorosa, which
had to be restored by Juan Manuel Miñarro.
Christ restoration was entrusted to Francisco
Berlanga de Ávila.

The parish church in Huévar del Aljarafe 4 ,
under dedication to Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción, is
the main patrimonial element we find at the municipality. Building’s origins take us back to the
15th century , although they could be even older
(13th century). We have here a three section temple with a vaulted cover that becomes star dome in
the presbytery. We can stand out the Side Chapel
(17th Century) and Antigua Virgin Chapel (16th
century) founded by the Guzmans whose shield
appears at baseboard tiles and forge grille of the
Chapel. The major retable, of neo-classical style, is
presided by Asunción Virgin (18th century).
This parish church is the
see for four penitence
brotherhoods in Huévar.
The oldest of them, Santo
Cristo de la Vera Cruz y
Mª Stma. de la Sangre
Brotherhood, was founded in the 15th century,
administering its own
hospital. It processes on
Good Friday accompanied by numerous wo6
men dressed in “mantilla” and a music band. Both Christ image (15th

Bejarano Moreno in Resurrected Christ. The
“Simpecado” of Soledad Virgin calls our attention, by Gonzalo Bilbao. Both Recumbent
Christ and Virgin process on Easter Sunday,

The tower is at the Church foot, having two bodies with pilasters and a culmination of tile adornment 1 .
On the inside 4 , we find one of the richest sacred art groups in Seville. The major retable
(17th Century) is presided by the Nieves Virgin,
by María Roldán. On the left section, the retable
with the Álamo Virgin (15th) calls our attention
and also an Ecce Homo ascribed to Luisa Roldán,
“La Roldana”. The Sacramental Chapel is presided by a retable with the images of St Joseph and
Baby Jesus. Hanging in the walls are three big canvas of Zurbarán’s school and a painting representing San Blas blessing his donors: Count Duke’s
daughter and wife.

Palomares del Río is is introduced as an expansion municipality, with a wide history and an interesting patrimonial representation. As the most
outstanding element we may cite the archaeological remains of almohade baths (12th – 13th century) excavated and restored between 1995 and
2001. It is a building composed of a changing
room or access hall plus three rooms (cold, warm
and hot). Today we have warm room preserved.
Its vault introduces bright stars which allowed
light entrance 4 . On the outside, gardens take in
concerts and other cultural activities.
Aljarafe’s agricultural richness has left an influence which is shown in the estates, some of which
are preserved for some functions. In Palomares,
we may highlight the recovering of Ulloa Estate,
built in the 18th century, which nowadays is see
for several cultural and social municipal equipments with an exposition hall 5 . From the original Group, that side of the manor and oil mill
with its balance tower (rectangular floor plan,
finished in an octagonal chapitel), merlons and
nine ceramic finishes.
Other outstanding Estates are Casa Alegre and San

In the 17th and 18th centuries it underwent
an important reform. The tower 1 , situated at the church headwall, shows us this historical evolution: the first body, of mudéjar style, has polilobed and horseshoe archs
framed by the alfiz; the second body, in late
baroque, with round archs framed by pilasters, is finished by an octagonal chapitel covered by white and blue tiles. On the inside,
the major retable (17th and 18th centuries)

image is left placed in Santa María, to preside
Easter Mass, coming back to her chapel in the afternoon where the several flower offerings received are sold at auction. Finally, the day close with
a firework show from Belén Square.

Salteras has a great cultural tradition, especially
linked to its musical tradition, with two renowned
Philarmonic Societies (El Carmen and La Oliva).
The Municipality patron, Ntra. Sra. de la Oliva 2
has its see in its own chapel, a building which preserves from its original time period (18th century)
the Virgin belfry and tile. This image processes twice a year: On February 2nd, the day of its feast and
August 15th, Corpus Christi celebration in Salteras
since, by papal dispensation, it was transferred to this
date to allow peasants to go to the procession after finishing harvest. It uses a different float for each one
of the exits, whose parts can be contemplated at the
Brotherhood Museum, situated in a building annex to
the Chapel. Several valuables are also exhibited on it,
among which cloaks, petticoats, banners and jewels
stand out.
The same patron dedication has Salteras parish
church 1 (16th century), of a mudéjar style and rectangular floor plan, with three sections separated by
pointed archs. It has aljarfe covers, with the exception of the major chapel that shows a spherical vault
limited by four vertical planes. At the building foot,
we find the bell tower (18th century), with a tile finish. A Visigothic tombstone close to the presbytery
wall stands out, dated in 520, although it was rebuilt
in 1612. Among other interesting elements, we find,

known as “La Tempranilla” because it performs
its penitence station on Passion Saturdays. This
is due to the old tradition of taking the image
from previous Friday to Friday of Sorrows from
its old location, at Sagrado Corazón parish
church, to Rosario Virgin Chapel. It stood there during a week and then it was taken again to
its parish church on Passion Saturday. When the

San Pedro Church is located within the city walls, possibly
situated at the urban mosque lot. Built following mudéjar
style between the 13th and 14th century, the building has 3
sections, separated by pointed archs on cruciform pillars.
The belfry tower has a cuadrangular floor plan, is exempt

Santa María Church 1 was first conceived as a poor
quarter parish church, next to the path from Seville to
Niebla. It was built during the first half of the 14th century, also within mudéjar style as the rest of Sanlúcar
churches. Among sacred art objects we can highlight
San Pedro Christ 3 (14th century), a Christ with the
typical full Gothic torsion. The collection of paintings
of the 18th century and the goldsmithing collection
are also interesting (XIV-XX).

This brotherhood was founded in the 16th century.
Both images are 12th century anonymous works,
the Nazarene sculpture is ascribed both to Martínez
Montañés and José de Arce. This brotherhood organizes Aljarafe’s 3 Via Crucis, a singular initiative which, from 1991 gathers 14 Brotherhoods the
evening of the first Lent Saturday, mainly from sevillian Aljarafe, to parade in Santiponce streets from
San Isidoro parish church to Itálica Amphitheater.
The act is presided by the image of Ntro Padre Jesús
Nazareno carried on shoulders. Brotherhoods taking part are integrated in the procession represented by their leading crosses with the aim of having each cross presiding its penitence station at the
Amphitheater’s sand. The night route, lighted by torches, through Itálica’s architectonical monuments
is, no doubt, one of the most spectacular images
that can be seen in Aljarafe. It has been declared as

the public in 2002, after an important restoration
process, it is nowadays the see for other cultural
activities (concerts, expositions, book fair…).
The Monastery was founded by D Alonso Pérez
Guzmán and his wife Dª María Alonso Coronel in
1301. It was built over a mozárabe mosque, where (according to tradition) San Isidoro de Sevilla
had built a school in the 6th century. Later on,
San Isidoro’s body rested there until they were
taken to León in the 11th century. The monastery was transferred to the Cistercian order
until 1431 when they were expelled and replaced by Jerónimos. There are two churches inside the monastery, both with just one section
of three stretches and polygonal headwall, covered by cross ribs vaults and geminate windows in the apse. This duality can be explained
by the execution of public and private cults (by
monks) in the Middle Ages.
The cloister 6 has a marked mudéjar character,
resorting to brick as construction material and
using almohade inspiration elements. Within its
sacred art collection we must highlight a Christ
dating from the 14th century, the only image
allowed at Cistercian temples. The major retable is a work by Martínez Montañés (1609-1613),
with the outstanding San Jerónimo Penitente
sculpture. Fresco paintings are very interesting,
dating from the 15th -18th century.

At Umbrete’s center we can find a rich group of
baroque architecture formed by Consolación
and Archbishop’s Palace. Its present phisiognomy
is due to D. Luís Salcedo and Azcona, Seville’s
Archbishop who, in the 17th century, ordered building a new parish church and a restoration of the
archbishop’s palace. Both buildings were united in
those days by a corridor in height, of it today we
only have the arch in which it was supported 1 .
Consolation Church, whose construction started
in 1725 stands out by the use of brick being this
way a singular example of the so-called “popular
baroque”. It is a one-section building covered by a
barrel vault. On one side of the façade, the tower
is situated with two bodies finished in a chapitel
with tile decoration. The Consolation Virgin image
presides the major retable (13th century), by the
sculptor Duque Cornejo. The paintings are, most
of them, ascribed to Domingo Martínez (13th century) and also an important goldsmithing collection stands out. The church preserves an organ of
neo-classical style (19th century).
The Palace, Seville achbishops’ summer residence, is organized around a central courtyard with
white marble columns. At the main facade, the
amin front opens with toscan columns and a wide
balcony. Emperor and Roman Gods sculptures
belonged to this palace that today are at Delicias
Garden in Seville.

Although with a 12th century origin, Vera Cruz
Brotherhood is the result of several fusions and
the impulse received in the fifties. Christ 4 is
an 15th century anonymous sculpture, while
Dolores Virgin dates from the 19th. Originally
it presented crossed hands, in a praying attitude, but in the fifties Antonio Illanes carved new,
separated hands. The old hands are exposed at
the Brotherhood House. Several original tiles
from the 18th century showing the passing of
the Via Crucis are preserved 2 .
San Bartolomé’s Chapel (17th century) 5 is
a small one-section building with rectangular
floor plan with exterior saddle roof, and coffering ceiling on the inside. Along with the
chapel, the house dwelled by the hermit is
preserved. This person was in charge of the
chapel’s maintenance. During some time, San
Bartolomé Brotherhood existed, but eventually disappeared.

Villamanrique de la Condesa, Natural Door for
Doñana, is situated between Aljarafe and Rocío
Marshlands in Bajo Guadalquivir. Part of its land
belongs to the ambit of Doñana’s Natural Park
Surroundings 1 .
In its name we can find out part of its history: In the
16th century Villamanrique’s marquisate was created by Felipe II for Sir Álvaro Manrique de Zúñiga
and Mrs Blanca Enríquez from whom it receives
its name. In 1916 “de la Condesa” was added in honour of París Countess Isabel Francisca de Orleans
y Borbón.
Montpensier’s footstep is still very visible today
in the municipality, fundamentally through The
Royal Palace 2 , situated next to the Santa María
Magdalena Church.. Built in the mid 19th century, it
is a french rococó style building in which great gardens stand out combining ornamental plants with
orange trees and other fruit trees. It has been declared as Cultural Interest Items.
However, the most characteristic image in
Villamanrique is provided by Santa María
Magadalena Church 3 which is built in the ground
where the mudéjar church used to be, destroyed during the Lisabon earthquake in 1755. The construction of this building was financed by Montpensier
Dukes and was finished in the mid 19th century.

Santa María Magdalena Church 3 is a neoclassical temple, open to the outside with three facades,

On the inside, the major retable 5 stands out
coming from the disappeared Santa María de
Gracia Franciscan convent which took place in
the municipality. In its elaboration, between 1612
and 1619, we count Juan de Oviedo, Diego López
Bueno and Francisco Pacheco, to whom the San
José and Inmaculada lateral retables are also ascribed. In the temple, other times’sculptures
are also preserved, as those of Juan de Astorga
(1777-1849) or María Magdalena by Pedro de
Mena (1628-1688).
Among the goldsmithing works the reliquary

Pilgrims
in Aljarafe
In Aljarafe’s region, as in other Andalusian zones,
popular religiousness has favored the appearance of processions, rosarios and pilgrimages that
1
constitute an outstanding Cultural Patrimony. At
these Festivals, along with its participants’ religious feeling, there is an unquestionable attractive for those who wish to know this
devotion facet better.
One of the most famous processions in Aljarafe is the pilgrimage to Rocío’s hamlet which takes place every spring. There are
a lot of Rocío Brotherhoods with their see at Aljarafe, but also a
lot of Brotherhoods pass by this region in their path to Vado del
Quema, a compulsory point when crossing Guadiamar in the way
to Villamanrique de la Condesa and the last part of the Way 1 .
Along with this pilgrimage to El Rocío, other processions are celebrated during the year in Aljarafe. Among the most outstanding processions we can cite Ntra. Sra. De Loreto 3 , in the
Espartinas Municipality. Being the village, Aljarafe and Aviation
patron, this celebration calls dozens of people around the monastery with the same name.
The Virgin image 6 is taken in
hanbarrows by members of the
Brotherhood and performs a procession through the country-side
which is extended until the evening. The floral offering done
by the Air Army is specially singular. At night, the Brotherhood
keeps on the celebration in the
village, where “sevillanas”singing
and dancing close the day.
In the middle of September, we
can attend San Ginés procession, in Gines. Traditionally, after the “Rosario de la Aurora”, the

From 1997, Sanlúcar la Mayor performs a procession in the honour of patron San Eustaquio 2 . It processes on September 20th
accompanied by Penitence, Glory and Sacramental Brotherhoods,
religious associations, Brotherhood General Council and
Municipal Corporation. Through the meadow way, they head
towards Guadiamar River, reaching “la Herrería” estate where
mass is celebrated for pilgrims.
San Isidoro del Campo Procession in Santiponce has been recently created. It has its origin in the procession held in the sixties in honor of the patron. The Sunday following April 26th, San
Isidoro’s day, the saint sculpture is taken in a cart drawn by ox, accompanied by carts and baby carriages, to a green space 6 kms away
from the village heading Valencina. Pilgrim’s mass is hold there,
lunch is shared 5 and people come back in the afternoon to enter the parish church when
the day is over.
Other Aljarafe’s village have also similar celebrations, as Huévar del
Aljarafe, with their procession dedicated to María
Stma. de la Sangre or
Coria del Río, in honour
of Ntra. Sra. Del Rosario
y San Lucas Evangelista.

Aljarafe’s
Environmental Wealth
1
If Aljarafe’s wealth in sacred art and ethnology is very
important, it is not less the wealth related to its environmental patrimony and its natural resources.
This environmental wealth starts with Guadalquivir
river bank and Aljarafe’s cornice, and extends to
Doñana, playing an important role Guadiamar valley 4 in the middle. Guadiamar valley is always
present as Aljarafe’s defining geographical element.
Aznalcázar pine forests – Puebla del Río They are
one of the leading resources in Aljarafe’s daily life due to its environmental recreational character. The presence of Sevillian visitors from
all parts of the province is usual in holidays. It is a mediterranean
landscape situated in an undulating land. In its vegetation stone pines,
wild olives, rock roses, holm oaks, cork oaks, myrtles, pilgrims, lentiscos and tree strawberries stand out. Its most characteristic fauna is
formed by rabbits, hares, partridges, hoopoes, deer, wild boars and, to
a lesser extent, Iberian lynx, a specie in danger of extinction but which
popularly identifies this ecosystem.
In Benacazón surroundings, we find Cárcava viewpoint 2 , a recreational equipment and a public picnic
area. It is a hillock from which a beautiful Guadiamar valley outlook can be enjoyed, the Green Corridor, the Island Gully,
Huévar Way, Valdelobos Way (connecting
the viewpoint with the Green Corridor).

Stone Pine 3 The stone pine or pinus pinea is the great leader of the Aljarafe’s hillocks and Doñana’s
plains. Typically Mediterranean, it got extended with the Roman and Phoenician expansion. It reaches
30m high and it attains its great robustness in the 500 years it usually lives. Its pyramidal crown becomes rounded at maturity and its seed, the pine kernel, has been very valued in gastronomy from Antiquity • Ripudio Stream 6 Although it has been affected by a strong degradation, Ripudio stream,

in April 1998, pass through Aljarafe’s region. It
is an echologic corridor covering Guadiamar
River medium stretch along 40 kms connecting Doñana with Sierra Morena. This project
did not only intend to purify pollution provoked
by the spillage, but to bring the river back to its
usual state before industrialization and intensive exploitation of its territory. The recovering
of the river’s fluvial dynamics has been attained, and also the environment and bank landscapes, and everything that formed part of the
natural ecosystem of Guadiamar’s meadow. In
Guadiamar’s Green Corridor Visitor Center we
can find an orientation about the program of our
visit and also information about the activities
that can be done. Moreover, they show us the
meaning and evolution of the Green Corridor,
the landscapes and the most important values of
the natural and cultural patrimony of the river
and its basin. The visitor disposes of three paths: Green Corridor, Las Doblas and Buitrago’s
Botanical Garden. This Botanical Garden is
presented to us as an environmental education center, so people is informed there, not
only about typical fauna and flora of the protected landscape 7 , but also about the whole environment restoration process that has been done.
Similarly, it shows a rich collection of botanical
specimens and has a public picnic zone.
