The word “Qasr” means fortress or fortified house in Arabic, and the Royal Alcazar of Seville is an ancient Arab fortified complex from the 10th century, built for the defense of the city. Since its conquest by the Christians in 1248, the Alcazar has been used and expanded by Christian kings. These palaces have hosted kings and governors from the Umayyad Caliphate to the Kingdom of Castile, and later, unified Spain.
We will explore the Gothic Palace of Alfonso X the Wise, the Mudejar Palace of Pedro I the Cruel, the House of Trade quarters, and its splendid gardens. This place, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, is a sumptuous synthesis of Mudejar, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture.
