History
The first palace was built by the Almohad dynasty. Most of the modern complex was built on the ruins of an Arab fortress by the king of Castile Pedro I , the beginning of construction dates back to 1364 . The palace is one of the best preserved examples of Mudejar architecture. Gothic elements added later (during the reign of Charles V ) contrast with the dominant Islamic style .
For almost 700 years, it was the palace of the Spanish kings . The upper chambers of Alcazar are now used by the royal family as the official residence in Seville.
In size, the Seville Alcazar is inferior to the Alhambra ensemble in Granada . Intricate floors, ceilings and walls are masterpieces that reach the highest levels of grace and luxury in the room of Charles V and in the Ambassadorial Hall ( Salón de Embajadores ). The girl's patio ( Patio de las Doncellas ) is known for its friezes , tiles and stucco molding. The general feeling of an elegant summer retreat is complemented by beautifully trimmed gardens with fragrant roses and orange trees along the alleys.
