a small town of Spain, in the province and archbishopric of Sevilla. It is situated in a plain sweeping from the southern flank of the Sierra de Estepa, where a fine fountain of crystalline water rises, and is called the "Eye of Gilena." This excellent spring is so copious that it irrigates the plain, and supplies water-power to several grain mills. Gilena consists of several pretty regular but ill-paved streets, generally lined by low badly-built houses. It has two elementary schools, a parish church, and a courthouse; and it has a small trade in corn and oil. Pop. in 1855, nearly 3000.
