Photos from Municipality Carmona

Carmona is a smal, sleepy town in province of Seville (Andalusia, Spain). It is situated 43km north-east from the city of Seville.

The town packs a historical wallop, evoking the Roman occupation of Iberia. It claims an architectural legacy from every occupying force dating from 206 B.C., when the Romans defeated the resident Carthaginian army. Carmona was the strongest city in the time of Julius Caesar (100–44 B.C.), and its strength was greatly increased by the Moors, who surrounded it with a wall and ornamented it with fountains and palaces.

Nowadays Carmona has a prosperous trade in wine, olive oil, grain and cattle.
