Architectural and Historical Walk through the Haciendas of Mairena del Aljarafe

Discover the valuable agricultural and historical heritage of the region by exploring the old Haciendas of Mairena, silent witnesses to the olive-growing and landowner past of the Aljarafe in Seville. Stately buildings such as Hacienda Porzuna preserve architectural elements of great heritage value linked to the traditional production of olive oil.

During this exterior tour you can see counterweight towers, large arched loading areas, historic mills, and chapels that reflect the splendor of the large agricultural estates of past centuries. Many of these farms have been rehabilitated as public facilities and cultural centers integrated into the current urban fabric.

Access to the exterior areas and enabled arched courtyards is free. It is recommended to visit early in the morning to avoid the central hours of summer heat and enjoy optimal lighting for architectural photography.

It is an ideal cultural activity for all audiences that allows understanding the urban and identity evolution of Mairena del Aljarafe from its rural roots to becoming the modern municipality it is today.
