Peñaflor - Sevilla

Peñaflor is village from Sevilla located on the banks of the Guadalquivir, standing at the end of the province of Sevilla, on the border with Córdoba and, specifically, near the town of Palma del Río. Its district extends from the river Guadalquivir to the foothills of Sierra Morena in Sevilla, towards the north.

The municipality's population in 1996 was 3,930 inhabitants, with most of them in the municipal area of Peñaflor and a fraction, the nuclei of Vegas Almenara and La Vereda. These villages of colonization are created during the 50's through the development of the irrigation area of Bembézar, finding the one of La Vereda virtually abandoned, while Vegas de Almenara has maintained its strength as a town due to the proximity to the core and the road local 431, the main axis of communication in the municipality.

Its origin is from the Roman era. For some historians this is the old Celti. There were found many remains from this period in both the village and in the municipality. We highlight, among others, baths, aqueducts, pier on the Guadalquivir, pottery, and some embedded family vault in the village buildings.
