Marchena

Attractive monuments in a town with history

Sevilla

Marchena has important archaeological heritage, as can be seen at the Bronze Age Montemolín site. Not to be missed is a stroll through the the medieval San Juan neighbourhood, with its Moorish defensive wall and Sevilla and Morón gates.

Stately houses, churches and palaces can be found throughout the old town. The Zurburán Museum is also interesting. It has works by this important Spanish artist. The Easter week celebrations in this town have deep-rooted tradition.
