Set in a countryside of olive groves and cereal cultivation, Utrera is a large agricultural town with a few fine churches and mansions.

History:

The older section of the town is clustered around the 14th-century castle, the most important fortress in the Moorish series of the defensive fortifications, the Banda Morisca, which protected the kingdom of Granada. Between the Santiago and Santa María churches are the remains of a defensive enclosure

Opposite the castle is the Gothic Santiago church, dating from the 14th century, which has a magnificent Renaissance portal, one of the finest in Andalucia. The Iglesia de Santa María is another Gothic church and also has an impressively elaborate 16th-century portal, the Puerta del Perdón, and a beautiful tower, partly designed by Hernán Ruiz, with a Baroque belfry. It is flanked by some fine mansions in the adjacent streets.
