Royal Alcázar of Seville

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: 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.

Poudarki: 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.
