    Real Alcazar de Sevilla

    This will be the priority palace to visit if there is capacity. The Alcázar de Sevilla is an authentic compendium of architectural styles that reflect the historical evolution of the city. Originating in Islamic times, its structure preserves the characteristic horseshoe arches and the distribution of courtyards, elements of Muslim design. The Mudéjar influence is evident in the intricate work of plasterwork and tiles, which fuses techniques and motifs of both Christian and Islamic tradition. In addition, certain spaces show the solidity and verticality of the Gothic style in their vaults and corridors, while the elegance and symmetry of the Renaissance is evident in the planning and decoration of some rooms. This guided tour focuses on analyzing and understanding how these architectural currents have been intertwined to create the uniqueness of the Alcázar.
