Rodrigo Caro (1573, in Utrera – August 10, 1647 in Seville) was a Spanish priest, historian, archeologist, lawyer, poet and writer. Caro is famous for his poem on the ruins of the ancient Roman settlement of Italica, near Seville. Its fine rhetorical sweep derives from Herrera and is unaffected by Gongorist mannerism.
