Olvera is a wonderful place due to its geographical location, since it is located in the Sierra de Cádiz. This town is located in the natural surroundings of the Peñón de Zaframagón, a natural site with great landscape importance.
In order to know the town centre, you can visit the different historical and religious buildings so that you know the history and culture of Olvera.

As for the most representative religious building, you should visit the Arciprestal Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, which has great architectural value. You can also climb on foot to the Ermita de los Remedios Hermitage, one of the most important monuments of Olvera and a highly valued cultural point of interest.
In the surroundings of the monuments you will find the Barrio de la Villa, where you will go back 700 years ago when there was a Moorish Olvera.
