1,000 Years of History
A witness to the history of Spain — and Seville in particular — the Royal Alcázar Palace has stood the test of time from the 10th century to the present day.
Its origins date back to the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba, a dynasty that ruled over southern Spain and oversaw a remarkable period of growth marked by the construction of many architectural wonders of Al-Andalus: the Alcázars. The Royal Alcázar Palace of Seville is a perfect example of these typical military fortresses.
