Iglesia de Santiago

Sevilla Province


At the northeastern end of the old town, the Iglesia de Santiago is one of Carmona's oldest churches. Built in the 14th century, it has been much modified over the centuries, culminating in the addition of a Mudéjar bell tower in the 18th-century. Inside, high vaults cover the church's original coffered ceiling. For information on possible openings, contact the tourist office.
