This large Roman necrópolis in Andalucía was excavated from 1883-1887 and dates from the 1st and 2nd century AD/CE. You get a clear view on how the Romans in that period cremated their dead and you can see many types of graves, from very large ones for the rich with a kitchen, tables to eat and painted tombs, and cellars for urns or individual graves. You can even enter a group grave. A stunning experience! All well explained in Spanish and English.
There is an exhibition in the Museum what had been found in the graves; eg. the statue of an Elephant. The excevation was photographed so you can see how the excevation took place and how they sorted all out. Very well done.
On the other side of the large hill you can see remains of the Roman Amfitheater. This was closed. Also you can see small round hilltops in the area next to the necrópolis that have not been excavated.
Carmona has been occupied by humans from 100.000 years ago.It was a very imported town in Roman times and in the old city you can still find many small artefacts in the streets.
