Church of San Felipe

This is the original religious building across all Carmona, in the Renaissance Mudejar style. Clearly. This church was a mosque, which is proved by the existence of its minaret, which frames the entry arch panels and basilica. In 1247 when Carmona was conquered by Christian armies mosques were converted into Catholic churches. Thus San Felipe was the saint whose name was given of this mosque in the high Muslim Medina neighborhood. Curiously the church took the form of a tower facade, which is very scarce in Andalusia. The minaret was extended and the entrance to it, after a courtyard, became the main facade of the temple maintaining its Mudejar structure.
