Ermita de Castilleja de Talhara, Medieval chapel in Benacazón, Spain

The Ermita de Castilleja de Talhara features brick and rammed earth construction with turquoise and manganese glazed ceramic decorative elements in its windows.

The chapel's founding stone, placed in front of the building, marks the establishment of Talhara village by Alfonso Fernández de Fuentes in 1369.

The temple follows a basilical layout with three naves divided into two sections featuring pointed arches and a square main chapel supported by squinches.

Located near the road connecting Benacazón with Aznalcázar, the chapel sits next to an estate of the same name overlooking the Guadiamar valley.

The main chapel contains traces of medieval wall paintings on its Gospel pillar, showing remnants of halos from a representation of the Virgin and Child.
