The Church of the Holy Cross in Puebla de Guzmán (province of Huelva, Andalusia) is a temple of great historical, artistic, and spiritual value.

Original construction: Late 16th and early 17th centuries.
It was praised in 1645 by Francisco de Rada.
Between 1748 and 1757, significant renovations were carried out, including a new main chapel whose roof was converted into a watchtower.
It suffered severe damage during a fire in July 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. It was rebuilt by the architect José María Pérez Carasa.

The Iglesia Fortaleza de la Santa Cruz was built in the 16th century inside the castle of Alfayat. In the area that corresponds to the dome of the main altar, you can see the rifle loopholes on the parapet of the terrace, as well as a sentry box in one of its corners. The temple was destroyed in 1936, to be later rebuilt. In a corner of the esplanade where it is located, remains of the wall are still preserved, and what could be a horn.
