Carmona
A small, picturesque town made recognizable by a Giralda-imitation bell tower, sharing much of Seville's history at a fraction of its scale.

Worth the trip
- The fifteenth-century tower of the Iglesia de San Pedro, built in imitation of the Giralda
- A fascinating subterranean Roman necropolis
- The Puerta de Sevilla entrance to the walled casco antiguo
A little history
It was an important Roman city, under the Moors often governed by a brother of the Sevillan ruler; Pedro the Cruel later built a palace within its castle as a 'provincial' royal residence.
