About this tour
The Royal Alcázar of Seville is a royal palace first built by the Moorish rulers who governed the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th century. It is one of the finest examples of Mudéjar architecture, a style that blends Islamic and Christian art.
The site became a royal residence after the Moorish conquest of Seville in 712. After the Christian conquest in the 13th century, the Castilian kings took over the palace and enlarged it, adding Gothic, Renaissance, and Romanesque work to the Islamic buildings.
A few rooms of the early Islamic palace survive, among them the Patio del Yeso and the Sala de Justicia; most of the complex was rebuilt or extended in the Middle Ages. Owned today by the City of Seville, the Alcázar is the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
