El Palmar de Troya

El Palmar de Troya covers 33.16 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 117 meters above sea level in southwestern Andalusia.

The settlement emerged from families of Republican prisoners who constructed the Torre del Águila reservoir following the Spanish Civil War in the 1940s.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Crowned Mother of Palmar functions as the central religious structure for the Palmarian Catholic Church established in 1968.

The municipality maintains independent administrative services since its separation from Utrera in 2018, serving approximately 2,340 residents.

The town houses the headquarters of the Palmarian Catholic Church, which follows its own religious doctrine and maintains separate practices from mainstream Catholicism.
