Half an hour’s drive from Seville, the Parador de Carmona, an Andalusi palace, stands on the ruins of an impressive 14th c. Moorish castle as a testimony to the region’s past.
The building crowns the city and offers a panoramic view from every corner of the Parador, especially from the terrace and swimming pool. Inside, Mudejar patterns are the main feature of the exquisite décor, which creates unique spaces such as the interior patio, the Salón Bermejo, with its tapestries and antiques, and the old refectory, now converted into a restaurant.
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.
