The Alcazar in Sevilla, Extraordinary Moorish Palace

The cultural variety in Spain can be experienced in every region. Architecture, art and culinary are typical signs of Andalucia, the region, just like every place in Spain, represents a unique fusion of traditions and innovations.

Because of the appeal of its province and the wide range of tourist activities, Sevilla is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain. One of the first richest and powerful cities in Spain offers till now many hidden treasures-outstanding cultural places, passionate Flamenco and delicious cuisine.

Sevilla's city center is a vivid reflection of its entire history.


The Alcazar in Sevilla is one very pleasant discovery, representing a complex of endless rooms in Moorish style surrounded by a gorgeous garden, a nice place to rest or to discover its surprises at each corner.


Built by Moors and expanded during several centuries by monarchs from different dynasties, the Alcazar for a thousand years has been the center of power and a royal residence.

Once arrived in Sevilla we cannot miss to visit this beautiful, beautiful place.




Magical view towards the yard called Patio de las Doncellas, surrounded by lobe shaped arches. According to the Arab tradition this courtyard held public events and ceremonies.





Amazing palace, we love every minute spent here.




Here we find more of everything- mosaics, arches, patios, gardens.  




Place full of wonders, representing combination of architecture elements from different time periods.






Spectacular palace but especially impressive are the gardens and the peacocks roaming proudly around in the gardens.





It is especially wonderful to enjoy these marvelous gardens and see the orange trees with big oranges and all kinds of trees and flowers




The gardens are bigger than expected and bring us back in time.








Phantastic combination of water, splashing fountains, colors, flowers and tranquility.



Extraordinary, romantic and beautiful.








Spectacular views.





We easily spent a whole day in this unique palace. 





Arabic baths


It is very hard to compare this Moorish Palace after having visited Alhambra in Granada. But The Alcazar in Sevilla is also very impressive and we will carry life long the memories of the day spent in this paradise.
