Information about Carmona.

Carmona

Carmona is a colorful Andalusian village, located about 30 km northeast of Seville. It has a great heritage, left by several major civilizations, such as the Iberians, Tartessians and Romans.

The Roman Carmo, representing almost half a millennium of Carmona's history, left behind gates, such as the Puerta de Córdoba, the arches and vestiges of fortress, such as the Puerta de Sevilla Alcazar, and above all the Necropolis, which was discovered just over a century ago by George Bonsor and which is one of the most complete of its kind that can be visited.

The monumental tombs include Sevilla's Tomb and the Elephant Tomb. An acclaimed museum, the remains of a large amphitheatre, a bridge across the one that today graces the floor of the Town Hall form part of this outstanding Roman legacy and justify the location in the Roman Bética Route.
