The municipality of Huévar is located in the river basin of the Guadiamar river, in the western end of the province of Seville, being bordering with the one of Huelva. In 1.996 it counted on a population of 2,308 inhabitants. The urban nucleus is located in southern half of the term, in which it is known like second belt of the Aljarafe.
The origins of this locality go back to the time of Roman colonization (century I a.C.), in which a military camp was due to build (it castrates) on a previous turdetano establishment. The population, then denominated Erbas, would be also an agricultural enclave dedicated to the culture of olive trees and cereals. With the arrival of the Barbarians of the north, its decay takes place, of which it recovers during the Muslim dominion. In this period the farmhouses, emphasizing the one of Güebar bloom in the region, that it gets to megre with others until constituting a nucleus of certain importance. The Christian troops of Fernando III Santo conquer it in the middle of century XIII in their march towards the capital of the kingdom. Until century XIV he remains under jurisdiction realenga, since she is given to the hispalense Town hall, happening later to hands of the family Guzmán, the Fog Counts. This hard satately dominion until the century XIX, in which the independent city councils are constituted.
The conditioners to the urban growth of Huévar are the Freeway of the Centennial V (A-49) and the line of Huelva-Seville railroad, that run respectively to the north and the south of the nucleus. From the execution of the A-49, the functionality of the Se-639 highway has been circumscribed to a strictly local scope, like estructurante element of the municipal term, by which it runs in southwestern-northeast direction. This highway presents/displays to its passage by the urban nucleus a winding and fractional layout.
The original establishment, located in the northeastern sector of the present population, presents/displays a clear development on two main axes (the East-West north-south and) on which consolidates the construction with a radiocéntrica structure and a layout of small irregular apples. After the Christian conquest to the church and the castle are constructed, that fortify the radiocéntrica morphology of the Muslim period. Between centuries XVI and XIX Huévar it consolidates his urban character and it increases his perimeter, mainly in South direction, with apples of greater size. In century XX a more irregular, conditional development takes place by the routes of communication and the little slope. The growth is slow and it does not alter the traditional morphology of the urban helmet. In the Sixties, the State creates the New District, with a tipología that will follow in later performances. The development of the last years goes towards the southwest, throughout the axis of the exit highway towards Pilas and Carrión, having like southern limit the line of Seville-Huelva railroad. This growth, with regular apples, always takes place to the north of this route.
In the present morphology two zones can be distinguished clearly: the old helmet, with a radial development around the Seat of Spain, formed by irregular apples; and the later areas of growth, to both sides of the highway that unites Huévar with Batteries and Carrión, with very regular performances, reduced apples and plot road in orthogonal graticule. This suroccidental sector includes/understands among others the quarter the Princes. The San jOse urbanization, located to the northeast of Huévar and the south of the layout of the A-49, is separated of the nucleus and physically counts on isolated houses (type city garden). To the north of the freeway other dispersed villas have arisen.
Between its constructions of artistic historical interest they emphasize the Parochial Church of Our Lady of Asuncio'n (Xv-xviii centuries), the chapel of the Virgin of the Dew, the palace of Marquess de Villavelviestre, the palace-property of the Motilla, the House of the Culture, the City council, and diverse properties (San Pedro, Villa Amalia, the Carrack, Characena, Espechilla).
