Royal Alcázar of Seville

概要

クイックファクト: More than 1.5 million people wander through its halls and gardens each year. Seven different Spanish monarchs left their mark on the architecture, from Moorish tilework to Gothic vaults and Renaissance additions.

見どころ: In the Patio de las Doncellas, the sunken garden at its center was actually buried under a wooden floor for centuries and only rediscovered during restoration work in the 2000s. Look down from the upper gallery and you'll see the original 14th-century reflecting pool that once made the courtyard feel like an indoor oasis.

インサイダーヒント

• Book your timed entry ticket online at least two weeks in advance, same-day tickets often sell out by 10 AM.
• The upper royal apartments are still used by the Spanish royal family and can only be seen on a guided tour, book separately.
• Escape the midday heat in the Baños de Doña María de Padilla, a shaded underground cistern room with dramatic arched ceilings.
• For a quiet photo break, head to the Jardín del Príncipe in the back of the gardens where most tour groups never go.
