Places in Spain - Villages near Seville

 

Italica
8km north of Seville, in the direction of Merida, the only significant Roman ruins in Andalucia are at Italica. The Roman city was founded in the 3rd century BC by Scipio Africanus as a home for his veterans. The Emperors Trajan, Hadrian and Theodosius were all born here. The biggest ruins here is the amphitheatre with seating for 40,000. There are also remains of villa foundations and temples. Some important mosaics have survived here.

Carmona
Take the NIV from Seville and you will find Carmona. This town is probably older than Seville, for Neolithic sites have been found around the town. During the Roman era it thrived as a city. Pedro the cruel favoured Carmona and rebuilt most of its Alcazar which sits proudly on top of the town with views over the valley. It is now a National Parador. Most of the fortifications in the town are Moorish, built on Roman foundations. There is a splendid gateway on the road to Seville. The town is well worth a day excursion and you will find plenty to see and do. Prime sights include the Roman necropolis, a 15th century church and the Roman amphitheatre which so far has not been excavated and preserved.

Ecija
Despite the ugly, undisguised gas holders as you enter Ecija, once you reach the Plaza de Espana in the centre you will find it a true example of Andalucian beauty. Here the square is dominated by a beautiful fountain and rows of palms. The atmosphere here is as laid back as it gets. Do as the locals do, sit and watch the world go by or explore the towns many churches and ornate towers.
