Ruta monumental al Cerro del Castillo y Parroquia de la Oliva
The Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Oliva is the most famous religious monument in Lebrija. Built in the 14th century by order of King Alfonso X the Wise and expanded during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, it houses an impressive main altarpiece by Alonso Cano and invaluable Baroque images.
The exterior and interior stand out for their imposing 18th-century bell tower, known affectionately by the people of Lebrija as 'La Giraldilla' due to its evident architectural inspiration from the Giralda in Seville, dominating the city's skyline.
