This monastery was founded in 1301 by Guzmán El Bueno, who played a heroic role in the conquest of Tarifa (1294). From the 19th century onwards it was successively a women's prison, a brewery and a tobacco factory. In 1872 the buildings were declared a national heritage, after which they were restored for many years before being opened to the public. The fortified complex includes a double Gothic church with influences from the Languedoc and the Almohad Mudejar style. In the 15th century the monastery was inhabited by monks of the Hieronymite order. The Patio de los Evangelistas is decorated with murals depicting saints and geometric or floral motifs in pure Mudejar style. In one of the chapels there is a beautiful 17th-century altarpiece by Juan Martínez Montañés.

The Los Melonares slope, located in the Natural Park of the Sierra Norte de Sevilla, is one of the most classic Seville ascents. A constant climb of almost 5 km and an average slope of 5.5%, reaching up to 10%. Do not forget to recharge the drums before starting to climb.

The classic slope of ascent to the Cuesta de la Media Fanega among Seville cyclists. It is located on the old national road N-630, thanks to which the traffic is scarce. The ascent begins next to the recreational area, after the descent from Las Baterías, and ends at Venta del Alto.

The municipality known above all for its pyrite mines (exploited since ancient times by the Romans) temporarily closed after one of the biggest environmental disasters in Europe - when in 1998 the Aznalcóllar mining dam burst and caused a polluting spill in this area.
