    The Alcázar is the royal palace of Seville, renowned as one of the most beautiful buildings in Spain. There was previously a Muslim fortress on this site about 1,000 years ago, which was entirely rebuilt in the 1300s and 1400s after the reconquest of Spain. Today the Alcázar is an outstanding example of mudéjar architecture, which is that special blend of Muslim and Spanish styles that displays very elaborate ornamentation. For the next several hundred years the complex expanded and grew into one of the grandest palaces in Europe. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, it is one of the most popular attractions in Spain and a must-see while you are in Seville. Our visit includes the Alcázar gardens with their labyrinths of flower-lined walks, and glorious date-palms, bananas, orange tress and citron groves. It really is a pleasing spot within the palace enclosure. The Alcázar is situated just next to the Cathedral so it is very easy to find.
    We walked through the Alcázar with a local guide, which is always a great way to learn more about a place - you don’t have to go fumbling for books or walking through without understanding what you’re looking at.

    Spaniard building and people are a work of art, they are mixture of Arab and Europeans,it is because of this lineage that great athletes are born , great architecture is created .I salute my Spaniard brethren with respect ,honor and love from an Arab living in the shores of the ocean .People can say whatever they want but in reality the branches and leaves of every tree can not leave the roots only to die.

    Moroccan architecture.alcazares mean القصر palace. why they don't say what happened to the Muslims who used to live in spain. my ancestors has been killed, kicked out from their homes that we still live that tragedy until now by singing songs which say the suffering that my ancestors endure while running from the queen Esabella. why the government of Spain doesn't let us go back to our country, why you give permission to the Jewish not to the Muslims.

      Do you pretend to be a victim? Arabs did the same since 711 (Moroccans mercenaries bought by the fled Arabs). Spanish government allowed decades ago to return to Jews of Sepharad. At present it would be dangerous to invite the muslims to return to Spain, do not you think? Al Kaeda, Daesh...see the news please. Why I can't visit Saudi Arabia with a cross hanging from my neck? Why Swiss Air can only land at night in Saudi Arabia? Maybe because they have a cross on their logo?

      What? This was a Christian building. King Peter of Castille built it. Mohammed V of Granada sent his architects and craftsmen to design and build it for him. So, it's build by the Andalusians, but "for" the Castilians.
