The hermitage of the Divina Pastora is a contemporary building in Andalusian style, crowned by an artistic bell tower. Construction began in 1956 according to plans by the Sevillian architect Aurelio Gómez Millán. Its popular brick and tile festivals stand out, in which the devotees collaborated by providing these materials for their construction. The works were completed on September 30, 1960. Inside, it contains an altarpiece with a painting of the Divine Shepherdess by the Sevillian painter Juan Antonio Rodríguez. On the façade there is a ceramic altarpiece of 1.20 x 2 m, a work from the mid-twentieth century by Alfonso Chaves Tejada, made by Ramos Rejano in Seville.

The Ermita de San Bartolomé in Cantillana is a historic chapel originally built in the 15th century. The chapel is located in the Plaza de Llano, a central square in Cantillana. It has a basilica plan with three naves, separated by brick columns supporting pointed arches. The roof is wooden, with a central coffered ceiling and hanging on the sides. The exterior has been intensely transformed, highlighting the main entrance of the eighteenth century. The chapel has a beautiful main door from the 18th century and contains several altarpieces and statues, including the image of Jesus of Nazareth and Saint Bartholomew. Currently the hermitage of San Bartolomé houses the images of Our Lady of the Assumption, Saint Bartholomew, Our Father Jesus and Our Lady of Consolation, from the Baroque period, and the painting of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, from the eighteenth century, with some interest in the wall paintings with themes of angels with inscriptions between rock formations, datable to very late dates in the eighteenth century
