Urban Wall of Carmona

The walled city of Carmona stands over 3 km, which is a sign of its significance in Roman Andalusia. It was walled in the 8th century BC until conquered by the Bárquidas that extended the walls based on square and rectangular towers. The moat can be seen at the entrance gate of the Alcazar of Seville. When the city was taken by the Romans, they changed the wall. Rome drew the urban fabric of Carmona following its usual typology: An open forum in the center and 4 gates at the cardinal points of the walls together by 2 main routes. The decumanus maximus was oriented east-west coming together in Carmona doors Cordoba and Seville.
