Écija is one of the most attractive destinations in inland Andalusia thanks to its extraordinary historical and artistic heritage.
Located in the province of Seville, it stands out for its numerous Baroque towers, churches, palaces and convents, reflecting its splendour during the 17th and 18th centuries. But Écija is not only Baroque; during the Roman era, Astigi was the main exporter of olive oil throughout the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
