Tour of the Archaeological Site of the Roman Necropolis
The Necrópolis Romana de Carmona constitutes one of the most important and best-preserved funerary complexes from the classical period in the entire Iberian Peninsula. Discovered at the end of the 19th century, this archaeological area carved into the rock bears witness to the cremation and inhumation rituals practiced between the 1st century B.C. and the 4th century A.D.
Visit to the Iglesia Prioral de Santa María de la Asunción
The Iglesia Prioral de Santa María de la Asunción is the grandest temple in Carmona and one of the summits of late Gothic in the province of Seville. Built on the site of the former Almohad great mosque, it still preserves its beautiful Patio de los Naranjos inside.
Paseo por la Plaza de San Fernando
The Plaza de San Fernando is the true nerve center and vital heart of Carmona. With a marked structure of traditional Andalusian flavor and surrounded by stately buildings with porticoes and wrought iron balconies, it concentrates a large part of the town's social and commercial life.
Recorrido por la Puerta de Córdoba y la Muralla
The Puerta de Córdoba is one of the most unique architectural vestiges of Carmona, standing out for its double structure that combines original Roman elements with later Renaissance additions. This monument flanked the road that connected to Corduba, being a nerve center of historical communication.
Monumental Visit to the Alcázar del Rey Don Pedro
Erected in the highest area of the city over Roman and Islamic remains, the Alcázar del Rey Don Pedro was transformed into a sumptuous fortified palace by order of Peter I in the 14th century. Today its restored ruins house the facilities of the Parador de Carmona.
Visita al Museo de la Ciudad de Carmona
The Palacio de los Briones is a 16th-century noble house-palace located on the emblematic Calle Ramón y Cajal. The careful recovery of the property has allowed it to function as the permanent headquarters for the Summer Courses of the Universidad Pablo de Olavide en Carmona, hosting intellectual and cultural activity throughout the year.
Visita al Convento de Santa Clara
The Convento de Santa Clara, belonging to the Poor Clares order, represents one of the jewels of Carmona's religious Mudejar and Renaissance architecture. Founded at the beginning of the 16th century, the monastic complex stands out for its convent church and for housing valuable examples of polychrome wood coffered ceilings and traditional tilework.
