The Real Alcázar of Seville is one of Spain’s most magnificent royal palaces and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally built as a Moorish fort, it was later transformed by Christian monarchs into a blend of Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Today, it serves as the official residence of the Spanish royal family when visiting Seville and stands as one of the finest examples of Mudejar architecture in Europe.
