Cazalla de la Sierra

Cazalla de la Sierra is a mountain town nestled in the Sierra Norte Natural Park in Seville Province, situated at an elevation of around 595 meters in the northern section. The settlement features religious buildings and natural surroundings.

Human settlement in this area dates back to prehistoric times, as shown by archaeological finds near streams like Viar, Benalija, and Hueznar. These discoveries of ceramics and stone tools reveal the long history of habitation in the region.

The Monastery of Cartuja and the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación stand out with their blend of religious and defensive architectural styles typical of this region. These buildings shape how the place looks and feels when you walk through the town.

The town maintains a network of marked hiking trails through the Sierra Norte Natural Park that connect different points of natural and historical interest. These paths allow visitors to explore the landscape and landmarks at their own pace.

The town is known for producing traditional aniseed liqueur and cherry brandy using methods preserved since the late 1800s. The distillery El Clavel exemplifies this craft tradition that has shaped the place.
