Known as the mini-Sevilla, Carmona has its own Alcazar, now a Parador, and two magnificent monumental gates, the best of which, la Puerta de Sevilla, has splendid Moorish archways sitting atop Roman foundations. There's even a copy of the Giralda, La Giraldilla, just outside the town walls.
Thought to be older than Sevilla, neolithic remains have been found nearby and there is a fine Roman necropolis just a short distance from the city. In the city museum you can see some fine pottery left behind by the Tartesos but everywhere you look you'll find the traces left by passing empires.
The old town occupies a strategic position and offers magnificent views over the surrounding vega (fertile river basin). It is nice and compact and easy to get around on foot and there are plenty of authentic tapas bars and restaurants and pleasant squares and terraces to relax and enjoy the local 'ambiente'.
