About

The Royal Alcazar of Seville is one of the oldest palaces in use in the world. A palace that has lived through different stages in time, from the end of the eleventh century to the present day, contemplating from its walls the influence of the different cultures that have passed through the city.

The palace fortress ordered to be built by Abd Al Raman III, is profusely made up of rooms exquisitely adorned with plasterwork, tiling and coffered ceilings, which combine aptly with the splendid gardens and water, thus creating a complex that is difficult to forget.

Highlights within the palace are the Patio de las Doncellas, with beautiful tiled plinths, or the Patio de las Muñecas, which has an interesting collection of capitals.

Magnificent Renaissance contributions enriched the artistic heritage of the Seville Alcázar, such as the admirable tiled altar made in 1504 by Francisco Niculoso Pisano or the pictorial altarpiece that is preserved in the Admiral's Room, dedicated to the Virgin of the Navigators. Renaissance splendour also shines in the so-called Salons of Charles V, while in the interior rooms there are magnificent collections of tapestries that narrate the conquest of Tunis by Charles V.

The Bourbon monarchs, in the nineteenth century, also left a strong imprint on the Alcázar by accommodating spaces on the upper floor of the building, where old rooms were refurbished and enhanced by nineteenth-century decorations with tapestries, glass chandeliers from the Farmhouse, clocks, furniture and a remarkable collection of paintings.

In the field of events and congresses, private tours of the Royal Alcazar of Seville are offered and allow activities to be carried out in certain designated spaces.
