Avenida Carlos III, La Carlota

Highlight • Settlement

The administrative district is located in the southwest of the province. The landscape consists mainly of grain fields. The village was founded in 1767 when Carlos III implemented his colonization policy. For this reason, the urban structure corresponds to the linear planning of the Enlightenment.

Perhaps the most interesting building is the Palacio de la Intendencia (Palace).

History

It was founded by Carlos III in 1767 (it also received its name from him).

Don Pablo de Olavide was commissioned to carry out the project, and Don Fernando de Quintanilla managed the population, which was mainly German colonists. In 1769, the village had a population of 1,088, of whom 84 were Spanish.

At the time of its founding, the colonists were allocated land holdings of 28 fanegas each (fanega: Castilian unit of area: 64,596 ares).

The Écija countryside

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section of the Vía Verde is especially beautiful: the fields that surround Écija, undulating and with rain-fed crops, change color throughout the year. The views of the city complete a beautiful landscape of the countryside.

La Carlota Town Hall and Founders Monument

Highlight • Monument

City created in the 18th century by King Carlos III as part of his attempts to colonize uninhabited areas of the Sierra Morena. This was done in part with German and Flemish Catholic settlers, which is why the surnames and even traits of those settlers still persist today.
