The necropolis of Carmona is a very interesting area for everybody interested in history and traditions. When we were there, a flock of schoolkids with their teachers were there enacting old Roman rituals, and we saw them again in town, enthusiastic and playful with their spears and shields. What a great way to teach children about history and tradiitions.The graves of the necropolis are very varied, some small and shallow, others deep and grand. And the entrance is free.

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!

I loved this museum. I had to make the choice between visiting here vs. the Roman Necropolis and am glad I chose the museum. First, the collection is wonderful and man of the pieces have been excavated from the necropolis Second, it is located in a palace, so the building itself is architecturally interesting. The woman at the front desk is friendly and helpful.

We visited Carmona and found the whole ancient town to be full of history and wonderful buildings. In particular the Convent of Santa Clara is simply beautiful - a smiling welcome from one of the sisters who explained where we could go allowed us to enter the Convent church as well as the cloister/courtyard. We could have stayed for hours.

We visited Carmona when the coronavirus pandemic was gaining momentum and several sites were already closed. This imposing gateway to the Moorish city borders the main thoroughfare and cannot be avoided. Nor should it!

My fifth trip to Carmona and always very well supported by the tourist office with up to date information, tips, advice and help in booking the taxi to the airport. The lady who has assisted us for the last couple of years speaks very good English. Also have convenient opening hours.

Originally it was Plaza de Abastos, next to the Santa Catalina Convent. The nuns disappeared, and the Plaza turned to the public use. Now it is the most prominent market place of Carmona. Small shops, restaurants are framing the square, As I could see on a painting in the museum this place before was even busier than now. All who enjoy shopping can spend a wonderful time here.
