Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas

The rectangular structure features three naves divided by rounded arches, with two additional naves serving as service areas within the building.

Originally constructed as a mosque during the 12th century Almohad period in Al-Andalus, the building was later transformed into a Christian temple.

The altar houses a 16th-century tile panel depicting the Virgin of the Rosary surrounded by medallions containing images of the Evangelists.

The hermitage stands 6 kilometers from the town center and contains a brick minaret measuring 14.80 meters in height and 3.25 meters on each side.

The minaret structure shares architectural similarities with Seville's Giralda, featuring horseshoe arches and blind arches in its brick construction.
