The Casa Palacio de los Briones, also known as the Casa Palacio de Carmona, is a building passed down through the centuries, with a rich history embedded in its walls. It is located on Calle Ramón y Cajal, formerly known as Calle del Palomar, next to the site where the Convent of San José once stood.

Surrounded by a crenellated wall adorned with bougainvilleas, jasmine, and other plants, it frames the entrance patio where the true facade of the building is revealed. The main door, made of brick and featuring a large Elizabethan-style arch within an alfiz, leads to the reception area.

The construction of this palace can be dated to the first half of the 16th century. This historical building, organized around two patios and a grand main entrance, exemplifies the typical Renaissance palace with Mudejar influences that is common in Carmona.

In a scene from ‘Carmen’, Paz Vega and Leonardo Sbaraglia walk along Calle Ramón y Cajal in Carmona, arriving at the door of the Casa Palacio de los Briones. After requesting shelter for the night, they enter the house, which becomes a recurring stop for the sergeant in his quest for his beloved. On one such occasion, at the entrance of this palace, he is met with a striking cinematic line: “Find her in hell.”
