Royal Alcazar of Seville private tour

Our official guides will be proud to show you one of the world's largest and spectacular monuments.

A unique building that gather such variety of artistic and architectural styles: from Islamic times until today.

This is the perfect example of the historic and cultural evolution that Seville lived through the course of centuries.

This palace was originally built under the will of Cordobese Caliph Abderramán III.

Successively was then extended and modified both by Muslims and Christians kings; among these last ones, Peter I, commissioned the construction of his own palace, a perfect example of Mudéjar architecture, unique and recognized in the whole world.

The Catholics Kings, Fernando and Isabel, left their own signature with some impressive example of Renaissance style and lately in times, Charles the V, with amazing Baroque influences.

Probably though, despite the fascinating courtyards, the royal bedrooms and the astonishing galleries, the most spectacular treasure that the Alcázar has to offer to its visitors, are the Gardens.

Originally conceived as orchards for the benefit of the Muslims kings, were successively reformed during Renaissance turning them into Greco-Roman style gardens.

At the end of XIX and beginning of XX centuries, a touch of British and French Romantic style was then added to the whole area, giving a unique and well blended architectural mix to the whole area.

Obviously these Gardens also hide countless secrets, tales and love stories between kings and queens, princes and princesses, courtiers and courtesans and not just them.

Similar stories are to be told alongside the Walls, and this time, not just about lovers, but also palace's intrigues between kings and nobles, homicides, up to religious and miraculous tales.

You will discover all these stories and visit this majestic building in our guided tour, and you'll understand why the citizens of Seville are so proud of this monument: The Royal Alcázar. 

The oldest royal palace still in use in Europe, official residence of the Spanish Royal Family in the city of Seville.
