Marchena lies in the heart of Seville’s lush campiña, surrounded by valleys, rivers, olive groves and Mediterranean woodland. A Historic-Artistic Site with a walled historic town centre, it contains some magnificent Baroque, Gothic and Mudejar style churches.

Marchena’s all-consuming passion is its Easter Week, a unique spectacle of silver palios, Roman soldiers and scenes of Christ’s Passion all steeped in emotional intensity and romantic appeal. In fact the origins of the heartrending religious lament called the saeta can be traced back to the Easter celebrations here in Marchena. Blessed with an impressive historical and monumental heritage, the town is bursting at the seams with culture, art and history.

When you visit Marchena you will enjoy the most authentic traditional cuisine and discover a world of sensations.
