Constantina

Constantina is a sizable municipality nestled deep within the Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park, positioning it as one of the major cultural and economic centers of this mountainous region.

The town's setting is one of historical defense and scenic beauty. It is famously dominated by the ruins of its Moorish Castle, which sits dramatically atop the hill overlooking the town. This castle, along with the remnants of its surrounding wall, is a powerful reminder of Constantina's long stratejic importance in controlling the trade and military routes through the Sierra.

The town center itself unfolds below the castle, a dense cluster of traditional streets leading to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, a large church with a beautiful bell tower. Constantina is a regional hub for the production of high-quality Iberian pork products and is also a center for traditional industries like cork harvesting.

Life here has a grounded, slightly elevated pace, deeply connected to the seasons of the surrounding forest and gazing lands. It provides a comprehensive view of a working, historic mountain town in northern Seville, blending significant historical structures with a vigorous local economy.
