Carmona Attractions

From Seville N IV runs east, passing the airport and continuing through a fertile upland region to Carmona (alt. 215m/705ft), the Roman Carmo and Moorish Karmuna, 30km/19mi from Seville. This little country town, dominated by its Alcázar and still ringed by its Roman walls, lies on a bare ridge rising above the rich Vega de Corbones. On the right of the main road through the town is the church of San Pedro, with a tower resembling Seville's Giralda. Other features of interest are the church of Santa María (15th-16th century), with a high white interior; the Plaza Mayor, surrounded by handsome old houses; and a number of old noble mansions in the town's picturesque little streets.
