Royal Alcazar

Casco Antiguo, Seville

Overview

The Royal Alcazar fuses Moorish, Mudejar, and Renaissance styles and still serves as the Spanish royal family's official residence when they visit Seville. Built in the 14th century by Pedro I using Muslim craftsmen, the palace is filled with intricate geometric tilework and arabesques that recall the Alhambra. It gained extra fame as the Water Gardens of Dorne in HBO's 'Game of Thrones', and its extensive gardens are gorgeous in their own right.
