Royal Alcazar
The first Royal Palace in Seville is made up of a series
of smaller palaces, which is why it is often referred
to in the plural-Reales Alcazares.
For a thousand years it has been the centre of the power
and a royal residence of the Spanish Kings.
Inside the palace, different styles are mixed, for example
the arabic style, gothic, renaissance or baroque. There
are different palaces like the Gothic Palace which dates
back to the 13th century, to the time of King Alfonso
X the Wise; The Palace of the King Peter the 1st, called
“The Cruel” or “The Just”, which
is considered the most important example of the mudejar
style; and the Chamber of Commerce founded by the Catholic
Queen, Isabel the 1st .
The wonderful gardens are inspired by the paradise with
the sound of the water from the fountains and the beauty
ant the aroma of the magnificent flowers and plants.
