Excursions from Seville
Carmona
Founded on a ridge overlooking the central plain of Andalusia, the fortified town of Carmona lies 33km (22 miles) from the city of Seville. Upon arrival, visitors are often struck by the grandeur of the town’s main gate, la Puerta de Sevilla. Once the strongest city in the time of Julius Caesar (100 to 44 BC), Carmona grew in strength during the Moorish conquest. Today, remnants of yesteryears remain in the form of fountains, palaces and the city wall. Just one hour from downtown Seville, Carmona is easily reached by bus.

Founded in 206BC, highlights include a huge amphitheatre seating 25,000 and the monastic complex of San Isidro del Campo. On the facade of the walls and columns, intricate carvings and relics reveal evidence of the city’s prosperous past.
