Right beside Aracena's castle, dominating the town, is the Iglesia Prioral de Nuestra Señora del Mayor Dolor. Built about a century after the castle, the church is a Gothic-Mudéjar hybrid that combines an interior of ribbed vaults with attractive brick tracery on the tower, noted for its distinctive Islamic influence.

The church is reached via a steep lane from Plaza Alta.
