Carmona has occupied a strategic position overlooking the fertile Guadalquivir valley, ever since it was first settled 5,000 years ago. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll see how Carmona’s beautiful architecture reflects the diversity of the people who’ve made the town their home. You’ll also find out how the town took on the favour of Julius Caesar under the Romans, and retained its importance under successive Muslim and Christian rulers many years later. The tour starts at the imposing Alcázar de la Puerta de Sevilla, which guarded the main access into the walled town. As you walk, you’ll hear about colourful characters like Abd al-Rahman I and King Pedro I, who both sheltered from their enemies behind Carmona’s impregnable walls. I’ll also tell the story of the French-born British painter George Bonsor, who excavated Carmona’s Roman necropolis and became so enamoured with the town’s pastries that they were renamed “torta inglesa” (English cake) in his honour.
