CARMONA: WHERE THE PASSION AND THE ROMAN STONES TELL STORIES

Among the golden countryside of Seville, Carmona displays a double heritage that thrills: brotherhood traditions that vibrate all year round and a Roman legacy that made it one of the jewels of the peninsular Roman past and the Latin essence lingers in every corner.

CROSSROADS: CARMONA

Holy Week: Soul that Transcends Time

A member of Caminos de Pasión, Carmona lives his devotion beyond April:

Cristo de la Amargura: Gothic carving from the 16th century, the oldest in Andalusia in procession. It is kept in the Church of San Felipe.

Barrio de San Blas: A labyrinth of alleys where saetas resound and the smell of incense blends with orange blossom.

Living Museums: The Convent of Santa Clara exhibits embroidery and thrones, while artisan workshops restore pasos all year round.

Roman: Traces of Empire (Via de la Plata Route and Roman Betica Route)

Julius Caesar called her "the strongest city in Baetica".and its vestiges confirm this:

Roman Necropolis: Monumental tombs such as the of the Elephantwith millenary frescoes.

Roman Doors (From Seville and Cordoba): for 2,000 years, masterpieces of engineering.

City Museum: Mosaics, the 1st century AD mausoleum, and grave goods that tell the story of life in the Carmo.

Vía de la Plata Route: Located in an elevated position that controlled the trade routes to the interior of the peninsula, Carmona was a strategic enclave in both pre-Roman and Roman times. It was connected to Hispalis by the Via Augusta. From this city, various Roman roads led northwards, forming the itinerary that today makes up this tourist and cultural route.
