The Alc\u00e1zar is a must-see<\/strong> in Sevilla! This complex of palaces and patios has been a World Heritage<\/strong> Site since 1987. We were seduced by the eclectic styles on display. Indeed, many kings have lived here, from the Umayyad caliphs (10th century) to the Catholic Monarchs. It is to them that we owe the Mud\u00e9jar<\/strong> style inspired by Islamic art, which made the Alc\u00e1zar famous. All this is complemented by superb gardens!<\/p>\n\n

In this article, you’ll find some useful tips<\/strong> to help you prepare for your visit and have a wonderful time!<\/p>\n\n

Why visit the Alc\u00e1zar?<\/h2>\n\n

Is the palace worth it? Our opinion:<\/h3>\n\n

Yes, we think the Alc\u00e1zar is well worth a visit! Even though the site is very busy, it’s so large that the visit remains pleasant. We really appreciated the grandiose Mudejar style to be found in this palatial complex. We were stunned by the beauty of the azulejos and ornaments! The gardens, with their fountains, lush vegetation and palm trees, are also a delight to visit. It’s one of the best things to do in Sevilla<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n

Why is the Alc\u00e1zar famous?<\/h3>\n\n

The Alc\u00e1zar is famous as a masterpiece of Mudejar architecture. When King Pedro I took Sevilla as his capital, he enlisted the help of his ally Mohammed V, reigning in Granada, to build his palace. The best craftsmen from Toledo and Granada<\/a> flocked to create this sublime palace! The complex is also famous for being the residence of Isabel the Catholic and Charles V. It was here that Christopher Columbus and Magellan came to seek funding for their expeditions! Since 1931, the Spanish crown has no longer owned the palace complex. However, it is in the “cuarto real alto” (upstairs royal apartments) that the royal family stays when they visit Sevilla.<\/p>\n\n
