The Royal Alcázar comprises a group of palatial buildings and gardens which have been constructed, reconstructed, expanded and renovated over a period spanning from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Originally built in the 10th century as a fortress for the Cordovan governors of Seville, to this day parts of it are still used by the Spanish royal family when they are visiting the city, making it the oldest European royal palace still in use. At the Royal Alcázar, visitors can admire architecture from an astonishing range of periods, including Almohad, Mudéjar, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.

3. Giralda Tower

The Almohads, the Moroccan dynasty that occupied Spain during the 12th century, built this prominent religious monument between 1184 and 1196 on the site where Seville Cathedral stands today. Following its construction, it served two principal purposes: calling the faithful to prayer and acting as an observation point over the city. One of three great minarets constructed by the Almohads, it is considered to be the finest of all, as well as an excellent example of Almohad architecture.
