The church of Olivares is located right where the road passes, that is to say, the road passes through the same door as the church.
The church of Olivares was an old chapel that was destroyed during the war. After this, and given that the Marquis of Casa Blanca was the owner of the whole area of Olivares, he restored the old and destroyed chapel, converting it into a church. As the chapel was destroyed, all the religious images were lost and for this reason, the marquis donated an image that he had in his cortijo, making this image the patron saint of the town of Olivares together with the Virgen de la Cabeza.
