Monuments

Écija

After the devastating earthquake of 1755, the tall Baroque towers ,which dominate the town’s skyline, sprang up.

 

On the banks of the Genil river, Écija is a town famous for both its horses and its sweltering Summers. The town dominates the rich farming district set in the Seville countryside. In Roman times, it was called Astigi and was the capital of a conventus where, according to legend, Saint Paul preached. Present-day Ecija however has its roots in the 18th Century. After the devastating earthquake of 1755, the tall Baroque towers of the churches, which dominate the town’s skyline, sprang up. These towers belong to churches such as: el Carmen, la Victoria, Santiago, Santa María, San Juan, San Gil, Santa Ana, Santa Cruz, etc. Some of the finest monuments of Écija’s rich heritage date from the 18th century. The numerous examples of civil buildings which were constructed during this period have an exceptional quality with distinctive features which are unique in the province of Seville: profusely decorated façades, unusual balconies and eaves, the typical apeadero, etc. In the “Salon” we find mirador-houses owned by the upper classes from which performances staged on the Plaza could be watched.
