Carmona - Square - Plaza de Abastos 05 ultra
On the site where the market now stands there was once a Dominican monastery, dedicated to Saint Catherine, built between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries. On 27th April 1837, the convent was expropriated for public use during the confiscation of church property ordered by Mendizábal.
The actual market square was built by Ramón del Toro in 1842 in the style of traditional squares in Castille, in the centre of Spain. It is a large rectangular courtyard, measuring 35 by 45 metres, made up of four porticoed galleries with 28 stalls, all built in the neoclassic style. Just a small section of its passageways corresponds to the former convent cloister.
