Osuna, Historical municipality in Sierra Sur de Sevilla, Spain.
The golden sandstone buildings of Osuna rise across multiple levels, with the university, pantheon, and collegiate church positioned at the highest point.
The Romans established Colonia Genetiva Iulia in 44 BC, and the area later transformed under Moorish rule before becoming a Christian stronghold in 1239.
The Plaza Mayor forms the center of daily life, surrounded by the town hall, casino, and religious buildings displaying Baroque architectural elements.
Visitors can reach Osuna by direct train from Seville, with the journey taking approximately one hour through the Andalusian countryside.
The former quarry area, Las Canteras, contains a Roman theater and necropolis, now serving as a venue for concerts and celebrations.

Andalusia offers many sites away from typical tourist routes. This southern region of Spain is home to ancient troglodyte dwellings in Guadix, mountain villages like Zahara de la Sierra perched around medieval castles, and natural parks such as Cabo de Gata-Níjar extending over 50 kilometers of coast. Geological formations include the red volcanic rocks of Riotinto, a result of 5,000 years of mining, and canyons housing 240 Bronze Age dolmens in Gorafe park. Villages like Setenil de las Bodegas feature unique architecture, with houses built beneath natural rock overhangs shaped by the Trejo River. The Castle of La Calahorra, built in 1509 at an altitude of 1200 meters, combines Spanish fortifications with Italian Renaissance decoration. Further north, Baños de la Encina hosts the Burgalimar Castle dating from 968, surrounded by extensive olive groves. These sites showcase different facets of Andalusian heritage, from prehistoric remains to Moorish inscriptions, in environments ranging from mountains to Mediterranean coastal zones.
