Andalusian splendour
The Parador de Carmona occupies the Mudejar palace of Pedro I of Castile, built on the old Moslem castle. Plundered and finally destroyed in the 19th c. by a series of earthquakes, the area was reborn in 1976 as a Parador designed as an Andalusi palace.
Originally a Turdetanian-Carthaginian acropolis, the site was turned into the residence of the Moorish king of Carmona, it was then rebuilt by Pedro I, promotor of the Alcazar of Seville, who made it his favourite residence. The old castle courtyard is now the car park while the Casa Real is home to the salon and bedrooms of the Parador.
