In the Southwest of the county, it is located the village of Bormujos, town very near aljarafeña to the capital of the county (something more than 7 kilometers) and that due to it is suffering it an important transformation in their physiognomy in the last years, although, on the contrary, it continues conserving corners with their more traditional aspect of town whitewashed sevillano typically.
The total population of the municipality in 1.996 ascended to 6638 inhabitants and the altitude of the nucleus, by the way, only entity of existent population in the municipality, is calculated in 98 meters on the level of the sea.
As other so many towns of the payments aljarafeños, Bormujos estimates its historical starting point toward the time of Latin colonization. This way, in their origins a Roman village that would become Arab alquería with posteriority was. Bormujos would be conquered by the king Fernando III, of who passed its son and successor Alfonso X so that this proceeded to the Repopulation. For such a purpose he/she surrendered to a hundred of gentlemen and noblemen that had participated in the war against the Arab, and that they composed half of the illustrious last names of the Reconquest. This way, the old Murmujos was without unique proprietor and subject to the metropolis hispalense. In the XVII century the City council of Seville made surrender of its domain in favor of the main landowner of the contour, for those times, the family Guzmán (it also presents in other many towns of the county). this way it consists in you are "them of Visits" of the Palacio Arzobispal corresponding to 1.705 that confirms that "This village is characteristic of Don Diego of Guzmán, to the one who also belong the alcabalas, it names lieutenants and he/she chooses justice". at the beginning of the XIX century the dominions were suppressed, with what this town was determined as independent municipality with constitutional City council.
The historical evolution of the urban nucleus comes defined by a very reduced nucleus native supported in the old highway of Seville and that it has suffered important expansions in the last 50 years. This type of expansions has determined a very peculiar urban structure characterized clearly by wide areas of urban plots ortogonales, external establishments to the nucleus main and new areas in consolidation process, fruit of processes of town-planning . On the whole, the nucleus continues maintaining a basically lineal structure supported in the highway (current avenue of the Aljarafe), with an orientation predominant northeast-Southwest.
Bormujos is developed by a slight slope to the left of the highway, where some rural buildings of the XVII century are observed. But the monumental representation of this municipality is synthesized in two you pierce; one in the outskirts, the convent of Carmelite nuns of Santa María the Real, transferred doesn't make a lot from Seville; In the urban helmet, the Parochial Church of Our Mrs. of the Incarnation that dates of the Half Age, although reformed in the XVII century.
