The Ermita del Cristo de las Cañas is a private hermitage located in the heart of the Cortijo de las Cañas, on the road to Santa Fe. The building, located in Belicena, is surrounded by two imposing chestnut trees that are over 100 years old. The hermitage is dedicated to the Cristo de las Cañas and is particularly famous for the tradition that on Good Friday at 3:00 pm the hermitage is opened to the public and visitors can make their three wishes, which, according to tradition, are granted by the Cristo. The hermitage was originally built in the 17th century and has a rich history, including a special dispensation granted by the Archbishop of Granada in 1781. The hermitage is also used for religious gatherings and processions, especially in times of drought, when the residents of Belicena bring the image of their patron saint, San Marcos, to the hermitage to pray for rain.

It is an important historical monument and a symbol of Santa Fe's rich history.

The Ermita de la Virgen del Carmen in Chimeneas is a charming little chapel built in the last years of the 19th century. It was built by the residents of Chimeneas as a sign of gratitude for the fact that during the landslides of 1824, also known as the "Andalusian Landslide," there were no personal casualties, although there was considerable damage to houses and the parish church. The hermitage is designed with simple lines and faces south. The interior of the chapel contains an altar with an image of the Virgen del Carmen, and on the walls there are niches with images of San Roque and San Judas.
