This article appears in Volume V17, Page 690 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARCHENA , a town of southern Spain, in the province of Seville, on the
Cordova
 -
Utrera
  and Marchena-La Roda railways. Pop. (190o), 12,468. Marchena occupies a sandy valley near the river Corbones, a left-hand territory of the Guadalquivir. Formerly it was surrounded with walls and towers, a large portion of which still remains. Among the
principal
  buildings is the palace of the dukes of Arcos, within the enclosure of which is an ancient Moorish building, now the
church
  of Santa Maria de la Mota. At the eastern end of the town is a
sulphur
 
spring
 / There is some
trade
  in wheat, barley, olives, oil and wine. Marchena (perhaps the Castra Gemina of Pliny) was taken from the Moors by St Ferdinand in 1240.
