Villaverde del Río - Sevilla

The municipality of Villaverde del Río occupies a fairly central position in the province of Sevilla, belonging to the district of Vega del Guadalquivir.

The village is located in a fertile plain on the right bank of the Guadalquivir. It is surrounded by the main channel of it (southeast) and the Siete Arroyos River (west). Villaverde is connected to Cantillana and Alcalá del Río through the C-431. In the southeast connects Brenes, through SE-120 road.

The first human settlements date back to the Bronze Final age.

The remains found in the Roman period have made some authors think that it was the city of Canama.

The Christian conquest was carried out by Fernando III. It would happen then to the archbishopric of Sevilla until it was ceded by the Pope to Philip II as a contribution to costs of the Battle of Lepanto.

Felipe II sold to Don Juan Antonio Corzo and moved to Cantillana County in 1577.
