Convento de Las Marroquíes

The convent consists of structures from different periods, featuring a two-story cloister with semicircular arches supported by columns from the 17th century.

Founded by Dominican nuns in the second half of the 16th century, the convent underwent substantial reconstruction in 1714, making it the oldest religious institution in Écija.

The main Baroque stone entrance displays pairs of decorated columns with masks, a split pediment, and a niche containing the Virgin of the Rosary from 1759.

The convent accommodates 90 people and functions under the administration of the Archdiocese of Seville, offering guided tours through the local Tourism Office.

Dominican nuns residing in the convent produce traditional pastries, including specialized Moroccan biscuits, available through the convent's turntable window.
