Carmona sits on an elevated piece of land commanding sweeping views of the Corbones valley, around 30km from Seville. This is a very fertile region so it's no surprise that this strategic site, one of the few high points in the area, has been settled by humans for a long time.
How long?
I'm not going down the road of historical time-lines, but let's just say that there is evidence of human settlement from the neolithic period.
It was during the Roman occupation that the town flourished, and apparently, the old town still follows the original Roman urban plan. The defensive gates, Seville and Cordoba, are Roman, but the most important Roman site in the town has to be the Necropolis (more on that later).
The town's prosperity continued under almost 500 years of Moorish occupation, and indeed, was a major player during the reconquest ...

Carmona is a town with a very long history and is situated about 30km east of Seville. It lies astride the NIV Seville-Cordoba highway so the town is very easy to find.

When planning a recent trip touring Andalucia I did quite a bit of research on finding suitable hotels. Various things are important to us: location, comfort, amenities and last, but certainly not least, expense.
In the course of this research I came across a site called bancotel.com, a Spanish travel agency. They sell 'cheque-books' which can be exchanged for various travel-related deals. To cut a long story short, I managed to book a total of 10 nights at various hotels with all of them costing only ? 50 plus tax.
One of the hotels we booked was the ALCAZAR de la REINA in Carmona.
CARMONA is a town with a very long history and is situated about 30km east of Seville. It lies astride the NIV Seville-Cordoba highway so the town is very easy to find.
