There are many charming places in Olula del Rio that cannot be overlooked if we visit this town; this is the case of the Church of San Sebastian, of Neoclassical style and striking for being built entirely in marble.

Another building of a religious nature is the Church of the Asunción, which can be reached after a stroll through the streets of the town; full of historical memories, such as the white colour of its houses and the railings that adorn them.

Undoubtedly, in its craftsmanship there is a clear protagonist: marble, which is also the fundamental basis of its economy.

The most visited buildings at present are the Casa Ibáñez Museum, the Perez Siquier Photography Centre and the marble sculpture “Woman of the Almanzora” by Antonio López.

If you are visiting this town and want to know what to see and do in it, we have selected on this page a series of suggestions to make your stay easier and more interesting.

We hope you enjoy it.
