Comments

The Real Alcázar of Seville is a walled palace complex built in different historical stages. The original palace was built in the Early Middle Ages. Some vestiges of Islamic art are preserved and, from the period after the Castilian conquest, a Mudejar palatial space and another in the Gothic style. In later reforms, Renaissance, Mannerist1 and Baroque elements were added. It is the residence of the members of the Spanish royal family when they visit Seville. This makes it the oldest royal palace in use in Europe. Unesco declared it a World Heritage Site, along with the Cathedral of Seville and the Archive of the Indies, in 1987.

The “Patio de las Doncellas”, translating to "The Courtyard of the Maidens," derives its name from a legendary tale suggesting Muslim rulers demanded an annual tribute of 100 virgins from Christian kingdoms in Iberia. Constructed as part of Pedro I's Mudéjar palace in the 1360s, the courtyard's lower level retains its original architecture, featuring Arabic inscriptions referring to Pedro I as "Sultan Don Bidru." Charles V later added an upper story in the Italian Renaissance style, adorned with both Renaissance and Mudéjar plasterwork. The courtyard boasts a rectangular reflecting pool flanked by promenades, embellished with red brick pavement and green ceramic borders. Flowerbeds line the pool, adorned with a frieze of interlaced semi-circular arches. A 21st-century reconstruction restored the courtyard's original appearance, revealing its hidden Mudejar garden after excavations conducted between 2002 and 2005.
