Visiting the Alcázar of Seville, a synthesis of royal palace and Mudejar masterpiece

Right in the center of Seville, the Alcázar of Seville is a collection of palaces still used by the Spanish royal family during their stays in the city. It draws visitors as much for the precision of its architecture as for the serenity of its gardens.

A labyrinth of eras and styles

Built on the foundations of an ancient Muslim palace, the Alcázar of Seville blends Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque influences. The core of the site remains the Mudejar palace of Peter I, featuring elegant patios, scalloped arches, and carved wooden ceilings. Each room reveals intricate decor where light plays off colorful azulejos and arabesques. The transition between eras feels seamless, like a trip through time across Andalusian history.

Do not miss: the Hall of Ambassadors, the Princesses' Chamber, and the richly decorated staterooms.

Gardens with oriental flair

Behind the palace walls lie hectares of gardens that are meticulously maintained and planted with orange trees, palm trees, and cypresses. You will find fountains, shaded galleries, and even roaming peacocks. Many visitors spend as much time here as they do inside the palaces, enjoying the cool air during the heat of the day. These gardens served as filming locations for famous productions, including scenes from the series Game of Thrones.

Planning your visit

The popularity of the site can catch last-minute visitors off guard, so it is highly recommended to book your tickets in advance, especially during peak season. Guided tours are available to help you understand the complex history of the location, but exploring on your own is perfectly feasible. The main entrance is located on the Plaza del Triunfo (Triumph Square), not far from the cathedral. You can exit through the gardens for a relaxed end to your visit.

A gorgeous spot in the heart of the city

The visit is truly fabulous. Whether it is the palace or the gardens, everything is absolutely magnificent. You can easily spend a good two hours there without any problem. If you are passing through Seville, it is in my opinion an unmissable visit! Plus, if you have watched Game of Thrones, you will recognize some filming locations. It is fun to remember the scenes.

A must-see in Andalusia

The Alcázar of Seville is a real gem, one of the most beautiful palaces I have ever visited. Right from the entrance, you are struck by the richness of the details, especially the azulejos and the carved ceilings. The gardens are just as impressive, with their fountains and palm trees. It is a truly peaceful place, and one you should not miss if you are heading to Andalusia.

An oasis of calm and beauty

Rub your eyes hard before you go because there is so much beauty per square foot! Patios, gardens, symmetrical patterns, decorations as delicate as lace... everything there is elegance and refinement. An oasis of calm and beauty in the center of Seville.

A must-see palace

This former royal palace includes a collection of buildings, plazas, and gardens. I was surprised by the typical Mudejar architecture.
Special mention for the rooms in the Palacio del Rey Don Pedro, which open up onto beautiful patios.
Finally, the highlight of the show, the gardens where fountains, orange trees, and huge palm trees all come together...
If you can, book in advance!

An Andalusian gem

My favorite visit in Seville! I didn't know where to look because this palace is so sumptuous. For me, it was a true sensory experience, between the finely carved arches, the sound of the fountains, and the intoxicating scent of the gardens. I felt like I was in Dorne, the oasis land from Game of Thrones, which was filmed here. My favorite room is still the Hall of Ambassadors, with its magnificent golden wooden dome. Just like for the cathedral, I highly recommend the guided tour. It provides so much information about the daily life of the sovereigns, as well as the function and decor of the Alcazar.

A must-see

The Alcázar is a must-see that you absolutely have to visit during your trip to Seville. The palace is huge, and you can easily spend several hours there. I especially loved visiting the gardens, with their fountains. If you are a fan of GOT like me, the scenery should look familiar. Not to be missed.

A bit disappointed by the gardens, but still a must-see

This palace has gone through many different eras that have left behind various styles. It is very big, and while some parts are nothing special, others are exceptional. I am thinking in particular of the Ambassadors Hall.
I have to admit that the gardens disappointed me a bit.
I still recommend a visit with a guide to understand a place with such varied styles.

Relaxing, cool vibes in a 1001 nights setting

Rejuvenating gardens with refreshing fountains and pools. The palace has such Moorish architecture and decor, you could easily think you are in a 1001 Nights fairy tale. I think this is one of the most beautiful places in Seville. A must-see!

Must see!

Less known than other monuments in Seville, the Real Alcazar de Sevilla, as it is truly called, is a place of exceptional beauty.
Located right next to the cathedral, it is worth the trip. It is a collection of courtyards, gardens, fountains, pools, baths, palaces, salons, and patios that is totally magnificent and relaxing.
The Spanish royal family resides there during their visits to Seville.
The richness of this place was notably used for the filming of several episodes of Game of Thrones (it is the city of Dorne, for those in the know!)

Haha, je savais que c'était un incontournable de Séville, je ne savais pas que des scènes de GOT y avaient été tournées !

A must-see in Seville!

I visited the Alcázar on a beautiful, hot September morning, and I loved it. The place is gorgeous, with its many gardens, and you can take some amazing photos there. The architecture makes you feel like you have been teleported to Istanbul or a city like that. It is no wonder it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site! Plus, part of season 5 of the show Game of Thrones was filmed here as the Water Gardens of Dorne. One more reason to be happy I stopped by!
