Carmona perches on a ridge overlooking the fertile plain of the Guadalquivir River, a strategic location that has attracted settlers since prehistoric times. Visitors can explore its Roman necropolis, one of the best-preserved in Spain, and the Alcázar, a Moorish fortress later expanded by Pedro the Cruel. The town's winding streets are lined with whitewashed houses, Baroque churches, and convents, offering a glimpse into its layered past. From the Parador, a hotel built into the Alcázar, you can enjoy panoramic views that stretch to Seville on clear days.
