The Royal Alcázar of Seville, recognised as a World Heritage Site since 1987 along with the Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias, is one of those places that will remain etched in your memory forever. Its emblematic spaces—such as the Prince’s Garden, the Patio of the Maidens, the Admiral’s Hall, the Royal High Room, and the Patio of the Hunt—are true gems that reflect centuries of history and art.

The origins of the Alcázar date back to the early Middle Ages, and areas of Islamic architecture remain, surprising visitors with their delicacy. Even so, Mudejar art and the Gothic style are the main features of the complex. Over time, Renaissance and Baroque elements were also incorporated into the palace, creating a unique and eclectic space.

In the 14th century, King Pedro ordered the demolition of the old Almohad palaces to build a new Mudejar palace next to the Gothic building constructed by Alfonso X, thus creating a new royal residence. Since then, the Alcázar has been one of the oldest royal palaces in Europe and has been home to members of the Spanish monarchy for centuries. Today, it remains the official residence when the royal family visits Seville, although much of the complex is open to tourists.

On the guided tour, you will discover the best stories, secrets and legends of this impressive palace complex. You will stroll through its most emblematic halls and courtyards, admire such iconic places as the Baths of María Padilla or the Mercury Pond, and explore corners steeped in history that make the Alcázar a unique place.

The tour ends in the gardens of the Royal Alcázar, where you can enjoy this extraordinary paradise of nature, architecture and centuries of history at your own pace.
