- Parish of the Assumption.It's the most important monument of Villacarillo, is a proud building built between the 16th and 17th centuries, in which the last forms of the Gothic and the first manifestations of the Renaissance coexist. It is one of the great works of Andrés de Vandelvira, who set up his first home here, married the neighbor of this city, Luisa de Luna, and had seven children. The construction works begin in the year 1540, setting up the Vandelvirian project on the primitive medieval castle of Mingo Priego, part of which is integrated into the upper dependencies of the temple, now converted into a museum.

The Church of the Assumption is extraordinary for the uniqueness of its volumetric profile, the inner spatial grandiosity, the originality and beauty of its vaults, and the integration of medieval traditions into Renaissance classicism. It is one of the most significant churches of the Renaissance in the diocese of Jaén. National Monument since 1931. The interior is of basic and three ships with the same height separated by high and slender pillars that complete the feeling of a monumental set. Even with Gothic resabies, visible on the pillars and side ships, it shows what will be the idea of a Christian temple that Vandelvira has, dominated by vaults of a vanish type. On the side walls, hornadine chapels are opened, which are covered with nerve vaults.

The Central cover It is formed by a beautiful succession of half orange domes with lanterns on decorated breasts. We can imagine Vandelvira and his assistants during the first years of the construction of this church, large wooden scaffolding, the noise of the quarries, piles of stone to be turned into armchairs and the caleros selling lime for the argamase. Without a doubt, the most curious image should be the perplexity of the elderly, seeing such thin pillars on the sides of a great central ship, nothing to do with the churches of the area, or the recite Sanctuary of the Virgin of Fuensanta, in the nearby Villanueva of the Archbishop. Very important will be all the pictorial decoration of vaults, The work of Peter of Raxis, mainly dated from 1575, representing scenes of the Old Testament and the Passion of Christ.

The altarpiece, Baroque, by Juan Gómez Lobo, from Toledana, in 1670; Chapel of the Christ of the Veracruz, with his baroque shrimp of the 18th century and the Sacristywhich begins to be built after the temple is finished at the end of the 16th century, in which Alonso Barba must intervene, on what had until then been a parish of Santa María del Castillo of Gothic style. It has a rectangular floor, with a cover divided into three sections with vaulted vaults.

The Puerta de Sol and Door of the Umbria are the main accesses to the temple. The tower designed by Vandelvira is quadrangular, topped by a body of bells, crowned by a regular octagon and petreous cone and located on the right side of the main door, Puerta del Sol, its height is 56 meters. The climb of stairs is helical. In Parish Museum of La Asunción the collection of baroque goldsmiths of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, as well as misals, bibles, casullas, etc.

- Church of Santa Isabel de los Angeles is one of the most important monuments of Villacarillo, of Renaissance style. It is located on Ramón and Cajal Street, popularly known as "Cuesta de las Monjas." Old Franciscan convent, built in 1645 and made by the architect Juan de Aranda Salazar. The interior of a single ship with a barrel vault, with high chorus to the feet and remarkable frescoes that are attributed to the village of Escudero de la Torre. The baroque-style golden altarpiece has salomonic columns that are decorated with grapes, sardines and glass leaves.

The building attached to the church was a closing convent until 1737, a public prison during the French occupation and, from 1884, a hospital to which the services of the former San Lorenzo Hospital were transferred. Between 2012 and 2013, a number of work has been done to recover the damaged church areas. Today it houses several municipal units.

- Municipal Public Library. It is a 19th century building considered of high value, with two floors of height and marked modernist and eclectic character in its architectural concept. Inside, the staircase and the entrance fireplace stand out. Also, the decoration of the ancestors of the low windows and balconies is remarkable.

- City Hall. In a neoclassical style, it was built in the 19th century, with horizontal façade with three clearly differentiated floors and regularly distributed vain. It highlights his cover.

- The House of Inquisition. Located in the old town, on Repullete Street, it is a historic three-storey building built between the 16th and 17th centuries. The original facade, the grating and the rise of the gilded stairs with shields of the Holy Office of the Inquisition and a pontored cross are preserved.

- La Feria Streetthe main artery, in which the best examples of domestic housing are located, particularly bright in the casas- palaces like the House of the Rubials; Palace of Cardinal Benavides; Courts; current House of Youth and below we find that of the Regil, of the 17th century, which must have belonged to this family of quarters who also worked in the church.

- Vandelvira's house and bust. On the side of the church and on Vandelvira Street there is a house, at number seven, which is held by the house of the master in Villacarillo and a bust tribute to Vandelvira.

- Anti-aircraft shelters. They were built in the middle of the Civil War in 1937 to protect the population in the event of air bombardment. They never got used. They have subsequently served as a food store. In 2018 they were rehabilitated to be included in the city's heritage. The shelters and the Parish are within the program "Hidden Treasures" de la Loma and Las Villas.

- Archaeological settlements. Villacarillo is prodigy in archaeological discoveries that shed light on the successive peoples and civilizations who chose their territory to settle. Many of them are concentrated in the Turruñuelos fieldwhere the human presence has been documented, and almost uninterruptedly, from the Copper Age to the Roman era. The Castellones de Mogón, place located on the right bank of Guadalquivir, have documented the existence of a village appeared in the 6th century BC, From this place comes a relief known as the Domador de Caballos. The ceramic elements located west of the mouth of the Arroyo Del PocicoThey say it would be a necropolis.

- Other interesting constructions are the bridges in Villacarillo and Mogón, as well as the hydroelectric power plant of the Duende or the Gardening Mill of the Pepper in La Caleruela.

- Almazara Tourist Agricultural Cooperative Ntra. Mrs. del Pilar, the largest of the province and surely of Spain, built on a plot of 160,000 m ² located on the outskirts of the municipality, includes a factory of 12 production lines and more than 11,000 m ², four industrial ships, several wineries and a social building of 2 floors, with 1,800 m built.

Its artistic heritage includes:

• Church of San Miguel Archangel, This church dates back to the last third of the 16th century. The main cover is simple and with a half-point arch. It appears decorated with a stone shield made of quarry, typical of the Renaissance and Spanish mannerism. On a side it has a cover with a tile image of the Virgin of the Castle. The tower is of rectangular floor, which is unusual, and with relief decoration of the bell tower, similar to work in brick. The interior is one-ship and at the bottom is a half-barrel vault with the arms shields of Bishop Calderón. The majestic baroque altarpiece of the 18th century, the work of sculptor Diego de Briones, the chapel in which the so-called "trophies" of the battle of the Navas de Tolosa are kept (1212) and, in another chapel, a canvas of the Final Judgment are kept.

• Ermita- shrine of the Virgin of the CastleHe rose in the 18th century on the ancient church of Santiago, at the top of the hill of the castle. It houses the image of the patron of Vilches, who every August 14, on the occasion of the holidays in his honor, is brought down in procession to the parish of San Miguel.

• Vilches Castlelocated on a high hill to which it gives name and from where you can enjoy a wonderful view, is the castle of Vilches. A fortress castle that played a very important role as a point of defense of the high Guadalquivir, served as a refuge for the inhabitants of the environment in the face of the advance of Christian troops during the Reconquest and starred in famous war episodes, in the Middle Ages, between Arabs and Christians. Although we know that the hill has been populated since the time of the Iberians, the origins of the castle are uncertain. There are only a few remains of the fortress: a esquinero turret, known as "Cube de la Villa," part of another turret and a passage with a slightly pointed vault of armchair. With the passage of the years and the consolidation of Christian culture, much of the towers and parts of the walls of the castles were used to build small churches and hermitage. In the courtyard of arms the church of Santiago was built, on which the hermitage of the Virgin of the Castle was later built. It was declared Good of Cultural Interest in 1985.

• Archaeological site of Giribola. It is an archaeological site of great importance located in the confluence of the Guadalimar and Guadalén rivers, from where you can enjoy excellent panoramic surroundings. From what has been known so far, it is known that it was home to an Iberian city, which some scholars associate with Orisia, which was destroyed in the Second Punio War, a prehistoric sanctuary, a Paleocrist or Visigode cenobium and a Almohad castle built after the battle of the Tolosa Navas.

Valdepeñas de Jaén, founded by Carlos I, shares with Mancha Real and Los Villares, being one of the paradigms of the Renaissance urbanism, inspired by the theories of the trattadist Vitrubio.

Its urban morphology had to adapt a reticular route to the irregular orography of the hill on which this municipality is based. The city centre was located in the most flat part with a large trapezoidal square where the most emblematic buildings are located.

• Parish Church of James the Apostle (s. XVI-XVII). Located on one of the corners of the square, it stands out both by height and volumetric, following the rules of Vitrubio that the most representative building must dominate the urban whole. Its cover, located not at the foot of the temple, but laterally to the square, opens with a simple half-point arch on which goes a second body with veneer intended to host the image of the saint holder. Built in the 16th century, in a Renaissance style, it is evident in the classicism and simplicity of its cover, in the proportionality of the tower and in the clarity and internal spatial amplitude.

• Sanctuary and Hermitage of the Christ of Chircales. The origin of this sanctuary goes back to the Middle Ages. Located in the Chircal area about 20 km. of the city centre. On the first Sunday of May there is a pilgrimage to this sanctuary.

• Mill Museum Alto de Santa Ana. It is a hydraulic flour mill of medieval origin. Restored in 2001, and in operation, it houses an ethnographic museum, of popular traditions and customs.

The declaration of Historical set It is justified in 2005 by the presence of several monumental buildings in the old town, as well as by the medieval route.

We highlight the following monuments:

Civil architecture:

• Castle (12th and 13th centuries). The castle of Torredonjimeno was built by the Arabs to protect the population from a small rural house. It was a rectangular fortress, of medium size, which after the reconquest was widely reformed by the Order of Calatrava. The Fortaleza, of a mannerist style, is one of the most important monuments of the historical and archaeological heritage of Torredonjimeno. As a matter of curiosity, the castle served as an accommodation for Fernando III in one of his perils and, according to tradition, in the room of which he was Torre del Tribute, the commando of the Order of Calatrava wrote the first book of which the art of the bullfighting is recorded. From this book, printed in the 16th century, only one preserved copy is known in the Salamanca Library. At the end of the Middle Ages the castle became a church residence. Inside the compound we can see part of that 16th century palace house in which several of its dependencies are highlighted with polychrome potters of Mudejar style. After its restoration, the castle has become a cultural center in which much of the activity of Torredonjimeno is developed and which also houses the Visigode Treasury Interpretation Centre which was found in the surroundings of the municipality fortuitous in the early 20th century. Considered the second most important visible legacy of the Peninsula after the one found in Guarrazar (Toledo), its original pieces are today distributed by several Spanish museums.

The facha is divided into two floors, the one below has in the center a cover and on the double sides of the intellized windows. The superior presents a gallery with 11 arches of half points supported on double columns. The open character of the gallery contrasts with the solid and sober underfloor in the style of the Italian palaces. Declared B.I.C. in 1983.

• Cube mill. It is a fortified flour mill that takes the name of the stream of the cube, is built by the Order of Calatrava in 1437. It is the largest and best preserved fortified mill built by the South Peninsular Military Orders.

On the presbyterium is the fourth-sphere vault, on pechines, covered with frescoes of the Celestial Glory. The altarpiece, from the first third of the 17th century, originates from a convent of Valladolid. It also highlights the large number of pictorial works of Easter.

• Convent of Our Lady of the Piety (16th century), popularly known as "Las Dominicas." Founded by Don Jerónimo de Padilla and Pacheco around the year 1540, belonging to the Order of Santiago and with a triple function: to house a convent of Dominican nuns, to be a family pantheon for the founders and to serve as a school for homemade maidens.

• Iberian Shrine of the Collado de los Jardines: It is located in the heart of Sierra Morena Oriental, on the most important traditional road of communication between Alta Andalucía and the Plateau. For the Iberian shrines they chose places, usually caves, located next to springs and forests, where it was thought that the divinity lived and where the faithful went to worship, pray and deliver offerings to their divinities. These offerings were what we know as "exvotes," small statues, between eight and twenty cm, made of bronze, stone or mud. In Iberian Shrine of the Collado de los Jardines There have been many exvotes, most of them bronze, representing men and women offering, priests, warriors and objects. It is part of the whole town that was excavated on the hill adjacent to the castle, where a wall, a sacred enclosure and a cast of metal exvotes have appeared. We meet before one of the three great Iberian shrines of the peninsula.

• St. Helena's Urban Helmets:Given its geographical location, a forced passage between the plateau and Andalusia, has experienced many historical events. The Battle of the Navas de Tolosa in 1212 in which King Alfonso VIII of Castile defeated the Almohades. To commemorate this battle, a hermitage was erected in honor of the Empress St. Helena, who would later name this place and the new population, which King Charles III founded in 1767. In the colonizing urbanism of Sierra Morena, the most important element is the large rectangular square, from which they leave streets on each side and where are the important buildings, such as the Church, the City Hall and the posite of Diezmos and Labradores. The rest of the town is organized from the Plaza. The streets are dominated by axial perspectives, houses of the same height and proportions, reticular fabric and geometric structure.
