About Jardín Rafael Páez e Santuario de la Soledad

The Jardín Rafael Páez is Jerez's main square, with trees, benches and an iron Moorish-style bandstand topped by a dome. Around it stand cantera mansions with arcades, candy shops and restaurants.

A few blocks away, the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad was built in the 19th century with a carved cantera façade, towers and a large atrium. It is the center of the town's religious festivities.

Nearby is also the Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción from the 18th century, and the Torre building, a mansion with a tower that houses the cultural center.

During Holy Week celebrations the town fills with visitors for the fair and the Sábado de Gloria, with tambora music.
