A stroll through history, architecture and local life just steps from the Hotel Leflet Valme
Just minutes from the Hotel Leflet Valme, the historic center of Dos Hermanas invites you to immerse yourself in an environment where tradition, heritage, and daily life coexist in perfect harmony. Strolling through its streets is to discover the authentic character of an Andalusian city with centuries of history, marked by its hospitality, religious heritage, and cultural dynamism.
A city with soul and roots
Dos Hermanas is today one of the most important towns in the Seville metropolitan area, but its origins date back to the 13th century, when—according to tradition—two sisters, Elvira and Estefanía Nazareno, founded the town after the Christian reconquest.
The urban layout of the old town still retains that historical essence, with narrow streets, secluded squares, and whitewashed facades that evoke traditional Andalusian life.
Must-see places in the Historic Center
1. Parish Church of Santa María Magdalena
The true heart of the old town, this is the city’s main church and one of the jewels of Nazarene heritage. Its current structure, in the Mudéjar style with later Baroque additions, houses a valuable collection of altarpieces and processional images. One of the town’s most deeply rooted traditions is celebrated here every Holy Week.
2. Plaza de la Constitución and City Hall
The heart of social and commercial life, this square brings together the City Hall, with its elegant neoclassical architecture, and several buildings of historical interest. It’s the perfect starting point for a stroll through the nearby pedestrian streets and to soak up the local atmosphere on their terraces.
3. Chapel of Saint Anne
Considered one of the oldest churches in the city, the chapel houses the venerated image of Saint Anne, patron saint of Dos Hermanas. Devotion to her and her annual procession are among the most anticipated events of the festive calendar.
4. Casa del Arte
Located on the central Calle Real, this old stately home now hosts exhibitions, presentations and cultural activities that reflect the artistic vitality of the municipality.
