💜The Magnificent Royal Alcazar-a must visit palace💜

🇪🇸Splendid Seville🇪🇸 We are at the Royal Alcazar, Seville’s Royal Palace was originally a Moorish fort built in the 10th century by the first Caliph of Andalucía. The construction of the current Royal Alcázar began in the 14th century. It is the best example of Mudejar architectural style in Spain, although Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements can be found as well. Alcázar is a Spanish word, synonym of fortified castle. Actually, it comes from the Arabic word al qasr that means palace or fortress. Many cities in Spain still use Alcázar to name an ancient Muslim palace or royal residence from the time of the Moorish invasion. 💕 Here is the entrance, called the Lion’s Gate (Puerta del León). Just take a look at the tiles on top of the arch and you’ll understand why. Go through it and you’ll cross the 12th century walls to go inside the Alcázar. #traveldiaries #photolocations #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #spaintrip #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #spain #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip
