The Alcázar
The Alcázar is the royal palace of Seville, renowned as one of the most beautiful buildings in Spain. Originally a Muslim fortress rebuilt in the 1300s and 1400s, it is an outstanding example of Mudéjar architecture displaying very elaborate ornamentation. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, our visit includes the Alcázar gardens with their labyrinths of flower-lined walks and groves of date-palms, bananas and orange trees.
