Montellano

Montellano

Montellano belongs to the province of Sevilla, in Andalucía. Located in the foothills with its name, to 66 kilometres southeast of the capital. The area of Montellano is located in the southernmost part of the province of Sevilla, which is precisely the limit on the south the province of Cádiz, following the river Guadalete. The municipalities from Sevilla that limit the term are: El Coronil, Morón de la Frontera and Arahal.

The first human settlements in these lands back to the Bronze Age, before they passed through here several civilizations (among which the Phoenician and Roman). After the dark Visigoth period, Muslims recover the settlement, with several settlements scattered throughout the territory. Castilian conquerors kept the village, occupied mostly by shepherds, later being given to the Duke of Osuna, who belongs to the end of the domains in the XIX century. It becomes Villa by royal edict of Carlos III in 1788.

The village sits on the slopes of Monte de San Pablo, between 230 and 300 metres. The northern and southern areas of the town have steep slopes, which is a physical limit to growth. The western and southern edges have a smoother topography, being more appropriate for population expansion.
