The Real Alcázar with its gardens is another beautiful UNESCO world heritage site in Seville that you really don't want to miss in a Seville tour.

It is located in the city center, just next to the Seville Cathedral.

Alcázar Seville

Its beauty is legendary and is one of the most magnificent architectural works in Andalusia. Maybe that's the reason why till now, the Spanish royal family couldn’t give up on this palace and it is still their Seville royal residence.

This place might look familiar for those Game of Thrones fans because it was used as one of their filming locations. This is the reason why Real Alcazar became more popular to visitors who were previously not very familiar with Spanish royal architecture.

History : This place was used for government buildings during the 10th century but the Moors promptly destroyed it after arriving in Seville and only the Palacio del Yeso stands strong today. When King Fernando III recaptured Seville from the Moorish, he transformed it into a Christian palace with a mudéjar style which is a confluence of Moorish and Christian art.

Highlights :
Palacio del Rey Don Pedro/Palace of King Pedro is a set of 9 rooms and courtyards which includes some of the most iconic and recognizable rooms of the Alcazar with a mudéjar styled architecture. It has a stairways to that leads to the Cuarto Real Alto or the Royal Quarters.
