Alcázar de Arriba

The stark, ruined fortress on the southeastern edge of Carmona was an Almohad fort that Pedro I turned into a country palace in the 13th century. It was brought down by earthquakes in 1504 and 1755 and its ruins now provide a memorable viewing platform and a backdrop to the luxurious Parador de Carmona hotel.
