Monuments
Alcalá de Guadaíra
A great historical and artistic legacy underlines the historical importance of the town.
Located at the most western point of the ‘Los Alcores’ district, on the banks of the River Guadaíra, lies Alcalá de Guadaíra. Its outstanding monuments include the Castle of Alcalá, made up of two enclosed areas and 11 towers, and the Castle of Marchenilla.
Other features of importance are the settlement at Gandul, located on the Alcores escarpment between the towns of Alcalá de Guadaíra and Mairena del Alcor, with remains of settlements and burial places dating from the Copper Age until Roman times, and the Guadaíra Mills, from Islamic times and the late middle ages, located mainly on the banks of the River Guadaíra.
Other buildings of note are the churches of Santiago and San Sebastián, the latter having a striking bell-gable and a beautiful Great Retable, and the sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Águila, patron of the city.
