Alcazar de la Puerta de Sevilla

Alcazar de la Puerta de Sevilla

Carmona, Spain

Reviewed November 20th, 2006

While it is doubtful the Carthaginians had electric hand-dryers and running water in 900 BC, you can bet this fortified city fortress structure had some serious extreme makeover action when the plumb-crazy (aqueducts everywhere!) bath maniac Romans conquered and made this ancient structure their own in later years. Since then, it's seen a few more conquerings and the makeovers that go along with that sort of thing. While the rooftop of this crucial fortress features important structures such as battlements, merlons, and murder holes (you know, where you pour the hot oil), perhaps the most important structure during this time of peace is the rooftop restroom, accessible down a short and narrow set of stairs. Beware the dangerously splashy high-pressure sink.

RESTROOM RATING: 7
