The Moorish fortress or Alcazar rises above the Puerta de Sevilla, forming an almost impregnable defensive complex - It underwent major alterations in the 14th and 15th centuries. - Restoration work carried out between 1973 and 1975 included the refurbishing of several sections as venues for staging cultural events. - Keep: the tower is solid up to the level of the courtyard and its bossed ashlars remain intact. - Tower of Gold: this tower provides a beautiful view over Carmona. - Prisoners' Hall: this is all that remains of the palace that stood inside the Alcazar. - Patio of Cisterns: in the middle of this courtyard there is an underground cistern excavated in the rock and featuring six skylights.

The castle is a treasure house Moorish architecture, delicate plasterwork, arches, pillars and very beautiful ceramic tiles. Each room leads to another even more wonderful roos and all overlook the stunning courtyards or gardens. The gardens are equally beautiful too, with summer houses and water features and flowers everywhere. Highly recommended. But online tickets to avoid queues, interestingly the counter would only accept a UK credit cards if payment processed in GBP and not Euros!

Palacio de San Telmo is a 17th century complex of buildings which has been remodelled and renovated over time. It has also lived different lives, such as a railway headquarters, a seminary, a duke's palace, part of a university, and now as the seat of the Andalusian Presidency. It is constructed in beautiful baroque architecture. In fact it is regarded as one of the most outstanding buildings. In its heyday, its gardens were absolutely huge and it rivalled the Palace of Versailles in France. The biggest part of its gardens are now known as the María Luisa park, which is just a bit further down the road from the palace.
