Carmona

The town stands on a ridge 235 meters above sea level, featuring defensive walls, gates, towers, and numerous religious structures throughout its streets.

Romans established Carmo as a major stronghold in Hispania Baetica, constructing an amphitheater and a necropolis with over 900 family tombs between 200 BC and 400 AD.

The converted Dominican monastery marketplace displays architectural elements from different periods, including arcades and galleries designed by Ramon del Taro in the nineteenth century.

Located 33 kilometers northeast of Seville, Carmona provides four marked walking routes that guide visitors through the Jewish quarter, San Felipe district, and Roman sites.

Scientists discovered a 2,000-year-old white wine in a glass funerary urn within a tomb, revealing ancient viticulture practices in the region.
