The façade combines Baroque and Mudejar elements. The lower level is Baroque, with an entrance door decorated with heraldic shields. The upper level, in the Mudejar style, features galleries of semicircular arches. The church tower is an impressive structure that dominates the square.

Baroque church of the eighteenth century. Opposite is a cozy square, where you can enjoy the terrace of a small bar.

16th century church worth visiting for its architecture and thousands of details. You have to be lucky to find the door open, but admiring it from the outside is also worth it, since it is the second largest church in the province, only surpassed by the Cathedral of Badajoz.

The Azuaga Castle, built on a hill that dominates the town, has Arab origins. Today not much remains of its walls, but the climb to the plateau is worth it to admire the views of the town from the heights.

A surprising church once you enter the center of Berlanga, not only because it contrasts with the white houses of the town but also because of its tower, which can be seen from afar.

The central square of Llerena is the nerve center of the nucleus where the social activity of the municipality is concentrated. The town, beautiful, is also surrounded by a wall that surrounds the town.

Undoubtedly the most striking and representative building of the town of Llerena, the Church was built between the fourteenth century and finished only in the eighteenth century. The original building is in the Gothic-Mudejar style with a multitude of private chapels attached to its naves and of the first only the Zapata or San Juan Bautista chapel and the Prior's chapel remain. It is also recommended to visit it inside and appreciate its frescoes and decorative symbols.
