Écija Church Tour

Join us on this tour of Écija's churches and discover its rich ecclesiastical heritage.

Tour Details

Écija once had 14 churches and 18 convents. We will meet at the Plaza de Santiago to begin this tour focused on the religious sites of this Sevillian town.

First, we will visit the Church of Santiago, the only church in Écija that maintains the Gothic-Mudéjar style. After viewing its facade, we will explore its significant altarpiece, one of the most important in the Archdiocese of Seville.

Next, we will head to Plaza de España, where remnants of a primitive episcopal building were discovered. We will also see the exterior of the Church of Santa Barbara, built over a Roman temple.

Our following stop will be the Church of Santa Maria. Its bell tower resembles the Giralda in Seville. We will discuss the history of this church and view the archeological pieces in its courtyard.

Then we will visit the Church of Los Descalzos, a Baroque gem in the Astigitan and Andalusian styles. Despite its simple exterior, the interior is impressive.

To conclude the tour, we will pass by the Convent of Las Marroquíes and reach the Santa Cruz Parish Church. Finally, we will admire the Church of San Pablo and the Church of Santo Domingo before returning to our starting point.

After 2.5 hours, we will conclude our guided tour of Écija's churches.
