The Church of San Pedro is one of the most emblematic churches in Carmona (Seville), recognizable above all for its tower known as La Giraldilla, due to its resemblance to the Giralda of Seville. Built in the 15th century on the site of the former hermitage of the Virgen de la Antigua, its Baroque tower, called La Giraldilla, was originally designed by Hernán Ruiz the Younger around 1565 and completed in 1784.

Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1906, even before the Giralda of Seville. Today it houses the Tourist Information Center and is used for cultural events and guided tours.

The Alcázar of the Seville Gate is one of Carmona's most iconic monuments and an exceptional example of defensive architecture with over 2,500 years of history. Remains dating back to the 9th century BC have been found, although the current structure began to take shape under the Carthaginians, who built a bastion atop an earlier tower to withstand Roman attacks.

The Alameda de Alfonso XIII and the Fountain of the Lions are two emblematic spaces in the Carmona suburb, with great historical and cultural value. Fountain of the Lions: It was built in the 16th century after authorization from Joanna I of Castile (Joanna the Mad), who granted funds to build a public fountain and troughs for livestock. Before then, residents drew water from an unsanitary pool in the Roman mine of San Antón. This fountain became the social center of the suburb, known as the Lower Square, in contrast to the Upper Square (present-day Plaza San Fernando) where the nobility resided. Alameda de Alfonso XIII: It originated as a recreational space around the fountain. Its current appearance was consolidated in 1925, influenced by the Sevillian regionalist style prior to the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. Gardens, benches, ceramics, wrought iron, and tiles were added, following the aesthetic of Aníbal González.

The Roman Necropolis of Carmona is one of the most important and best-preserved funerary complexes on the Iberian Peninsula. It is located in the western part of the city, next to the amphitheater, and covers approximately 8 hectares.

The old town of Carmona is one of the most monumental and historically rich in Andalusia. Situated on a hill, it preserves a medieval layout with narrow streets, whitewashed facades, and numerous Baroque palaces and churches.
