Churches

Iglesia de Santa Cruz

From a historical and artistic point of view, the church tower is the most interesting building. Built in the mid-eighteenth century, it contains a cemetery.

Iglesia de Capilerilla

Capilerilla is the highest village in La Tahá, situated above Pitres at 1,380 metres above sea level.

Taller del Telar

Two looms in perfect working order are housed inside a restored traditional house.

Ermita de San Antonio

The Chapel of San Antonio was in ruins until it was restored in 2006, opening its doors once more to the residents of Bubión.

Iglesia Parroquial de San Luis de Francia

Construction of the church began on 12 June 1735 with the laying of the foundation stone. The townspeople chose to name the church after the Santísimo Cristo de la Salud and the town's patron saint, Louis IX, King of France.

Iglesia Santa María la Mayor

Dating to the sixteenth century, the church has undergone several modifications and restorations. The main nave's configuration corresponds to the original design, with the apse and two side naves being added later.

Ermita de la Virgen de las Nieves

The Ermita de la Virgen de las Nieves (Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows) was built in 1796 and, for most of the year, is home to the patron saint, Virgen de las Nieves.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Anunciación

Following the Reconquest by the Catholic Monarchs, the Moorish Taifa of Granada became the Christian Kingdom of Granada. A preserved document relating to the construction of the church states that, on 26 May 1505

Iglesia de San Miguel

This simple model of a Mudejar church, with a single nave drawer plan, was not always so minimalistic. Built in 1530, it managed to survive the Moorish rebellion, various fires and an earthquake, until it was moved to another location. However, during this journey, it lost the back section of the sanctuary and the main chapel, and was reduced to this simple temple.

Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, Cartama

Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios - the town's patron saint - is still a focus of reverent pilgrimage for devout locals, and is perched high above Cártama's twisting streets. The shrine is well worth the visit and can be reached by climbing the vertiginous zig-zag path from the main square near the Pilar Alto Fountain. If it is a hot day, take some water along for the climb.

Iglesia de San Pedro

Huelva's oldest parish church, the Iglesia de San Pedro, was constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries on a hilltop site of a mosque and next to the remains of a medieval fortress. It faces a pleasant palm tree-lined square, the Plaza San Pedro.
