You can’t imagine what lies behind its walls ... a collection of palaces, fortresses and gardens that have long lived as witnesses of the city's history.
Everyone who has been here will be able to confirm it: the Royal Alcázar of Seville transports you to different eras, an experience you will never forget. You will without doubt get to know one of the most spectacular monumental complexes in the world.
The Royal Alcazar has been the place chosen by different civilisations, cultures, and dynasties as a centre of power: from the Almohads to the Christian kings, they have left their legacy here for history. A fantastic example is in the wonderful Mudejar Palace built by Pedro I.
The poetic names of the spaces of the Alcázar will not seem whimsical, but faithful to the feelings they will give you: the Patio of the Maidens, the Room of the Prince, the Patio of the Dolls, the Hall of Ambassadors, the Gothic Hall of parties, the Hall of Tapestries, the Pond of Mercury, the Garden of Dance, the Garden of the Poets ... You have to come to try it.
Inside, there are dream patios and gardens.
