#palace #100 ways to travel #Sevilla, the capital of Andalusia in southern Spain, has many popular attractions, but if you want to talk about the architectural visibility, you must recommend the #Real Alcazar de Sevilla. This palace, which combines Islamic, Gothic and Renaissance styles, has a lot of history. It is not only the official residence of the Spanish royal family in Sevia, but it is also the filming location of the famous TV series #A Song of Ice and Fire! The Royal Palace of Seville is composed of two parts: the "Palace of Pedro I" and the "Alcazar Palace". It was modeled after the "Alhambra Palace" in Granada. No wonder it feels like a déjà vu. The multi-layered arches, wall carvings, promenade pools, and colorful arabesque wall tiles are full of Moorish style. In the vernacular, it is resplendent. Every room in the palace is extremely ostentatious, especially the coronation hall, with its carved wooden dome and gold inlays, which are so luxurious and exquisite that it is shocking! Of course, A Song of Ice and Fire was also filmed here. The palace garden is also another must-see attraction. It is an Islamic-style garden like a maze of corridors, with a sea of ​​neatly trimmed trees and tropical palms. Multiple scenes of #Game of Thrones were filmed here. Many fans came here to explore and check out each spot one by one. , quite interesting. #SpainTravel #Sevia #Andalusia #Royal Palace #100 Ways to Travel #Moorish #Spanish Royal Family

#familytrips2024 Beautiful palace and gardens. Would recommend getting a ticket in advance if you can. Magnificent and extensive site packed with historical and religious significance both Christian and Muslim. Beautiful stonework, tiles and architecture. A lovely place to spend 2-3 hours wandering the Palace and grounds. Spectacular and well worth a visit. The gardens are amazing! Our dream destination for our family trip is China as it's rich history, diverse culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine make it a captivating place to visit.

I heard that European countries would close their attractions, shops, and restaurants early on Christmas Eve to go home and celebrate. I planned to arrive in Seville on the 24th and go to the Spanish Square after checking in. It was just at sunset, with no tickets and time restrictions, which seemed like a perfect arrangement. Today is Christmas, all attractions are completely closed. This time in Seville, I have to leave some regrets. The palace and the cathedral are closed, and the plan to visit the great navigator Columbus can only be postponed. I can only wander around the streets, look at the exterior of the attractions and the street view, which also feels quite beautiful. The picture limit in the text is used up, a solid 20, and it seems not enough. Seville, the capital of Andalusia, has a long history. I once heard an Arab proverb: If you haven't been to Seville, you can't be considered well-traveled. The city, which has been built for more than 2000 years, has experienced the rule of six civilizations, leaving countless architectural treasures. Seville is a very special city, where the Romans, Arabs, Islam, and Christianity have all left some buildings. Seville is quite inclusive. In 1248, after Christianity defeated the Muslims and recaptured Seville, they directly used the mosque as a church until 1402. Then they rebuilt the church on the old site. After 100 years of hard construction, Seville Cathedral became the largest church in the world. Although the church is defined as Gothic, it still retains the original Islamic architectural features, such as the Giralda, which was transformed from the original mosque's minaret, and is now the symbol of Seville. The great navigator Columbus is buried here. The Royal Palace of Seville is a huge and beautiful palace. It's a bit regrettable that it can't be visited because of the holiday. Some people even say it can be compared to heaven. There is also a Golden Tower by the river, which is also one of the iconic buildings of Seville, Salvador Square, St. Jorge Castle, Santa Cruz Street, and the old bullring. There is an old bridge on the river - Isabel II Bridge. In short, the city layout and planning are very wonderful, the streets are clean and tidy, and it's pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it. In addition to architecture, the origins of bullfighting and flamenco are related to Seville. There are many stories circulating here, which provide material for musicians. Musicians Mozart and Rossini have created 'The Marriage of Figaro', 'Carmen', 'Don Juan', and 'The Barber of Seville' based on the material of Seville. I didn't expect to encounter the Christmas holiday break. According to Chinese customs, holidays should be more welcoming to tourists. It still applies the old Arab proverb 'If you haven't been to Seville, you can't be considered well-traveled'. I thought my arrangement was perfect, but I still fell into the pit. Hehe🤭, the itinerary and hotel for the next part have been confirmed, so I have to give up and continue the next itinerary. Use the photos in the text to promote Seville. Maybe there will be a chance to come again in the future.

zar of Seville, a royal palace that seamlessly blends Moorish and Renaissance influences. Explore its beautiful gardens and get lost in its intricate courtyards, each one whispering stories of centuries past. When hunger strikes, head to Triana, a vibrant neighborhood known for its delicious tapas and flamenco traditions.

To make the most of your visit, climb the Giralda Tower for panoramic views of the city's rooftops and the majestic Cathedral of Seville.

Along with the Cathedral and Archive of the Indies, it is recognised as UNESCO World Heritage. Visitors can walk through magnificent salons boasting tiled walls and intricate plasterwork, courtyards with beautiful pools, and delightful gardens; parts of the palace are similarly awe-inspiring as the Alhambra, but on a smaller scale.

This is the Alcazar Palace. It is a palace built with tiles in the 16th century. It is famous for its many fountains and ornate arches:) When I went inside, the geometric patterns stood out. It looked like a bathroom because of the tiles. Haha On this day, I visited with a companion, which is the charm of traveling alone. We took pictures together and talked, so it was fun. #SpainTravel #SoloTravel #SevilleTravel #SummerCapture

#外游 #sevia Although the Royal Palace of Seville is not very luxurious or splendid, the environment is very warm and lovely, and it looks great when taking photos. I recommend everyone to go there. #外游

When you travel to Spain, be sure to come to Seville. It is more than 4 hours drive from Granada to Seville, the fourth largest city in Spain, not only the capital of Andalusia, but also the capital of the province of Seville. Seville is located in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The Guadalquivir River passes through the city. The buildings in the ancient city still retain the traces of the Moors ruled centuries ago. The valley is open and low, with an altitude of 100 meters below sea level. It is rich in fertile soil and has an average temperature of 20 degrees in summer. It is very comfortable. Compared to Barcelona, Barcelona, it is really a good holiday destination, soaking up the sun and watching the bullfighting are very comfortable. There is also a low price here, you can enjoy the food. There are many cultural relics and monuments. Remember to go to the Sebastian Bullring to watch the wonderful bullfighting, as well as the Plaza de Espaa. The Palace of Seville is a good miss. Tips: 1, major European cities and Madrid and Barcelona have daily flights to Seville. 5, Madrid has 15 high-speed trains to Seville every day, and Madrid to the E-5 highway to Seville.

When it comes to Seville, the last thing you can't miss is the Palace of Seville, which is known to many of us because of a super-hot American drama: the game of power, the atrium of the Royal Palace of Seville is the right to swim in Dorn. The location of the palace garden of the Martel family. The Seville Palace is the oldest royal palace in Europe and a world cultural heritage. It has been more than 1,000 years old. In this palace, you can see Gothic architectural elements and Islamic clay architecture at the same time, the most gorgeous of which is the magnificent ambassador's hall. Amazed at the diversity of the architectural style of the palace, spanning ten centuries, after several dynasties, constantly changing architectural style, it still retains the history and culture of the former dynasty and its architectural heritage. So the current palace can present a different style at the same time. Transportation: On the south side of the main church of Seville, tram T1 arrives at Archivo de Indias station, walk to open hours: October - March: Monday - Sunday 09

The Royal Palace of Seville is the oldest royal palace in Europe. It is a palace and a castle. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. The palace was built in 1181 and lasted for more than 500 years. Once as a royal palace of Islam and Catholicism, the Palace of Seville presents a mixture of different styles. The Pedro I Palace in the Royal Palace of Seville was built in the 14th century. Since the Catholic King Pedro I had a good relationship with the Islamic kings of Granada, the craftsmen who built the palace included both Christian craftsmen from Toledo and Arab craftsmen who participated in the construction of the Alhambra. Therefore, in this building, you can see Gothic architectural elements and Islamic clay architectural style at the same time, becoming a model of Mudejar architecture. It is also the location of the palace garden of the Martel family in Dorn in the TV series "Game of Thrones".

This is my personal itinerary: 🌟 Traveling in Seville is super convenient because the attractions are really concentrated. 👉🏼 I recommend staying in Centro Historico. This way, the Cathedral and Alcázar of Seville are within walking distance (remember to buy tickets in advance). ‼️ Tickets for the Royal Alcázar are really hard to get. If you can't book tickets in advance, you can go early in the morning and queue (tickets are released at 9am, but you'd better be there before 8:30am as there will be a huge queue). Plaza de España is about a 16-minute walk from the Cathedral (it's so beautiful!). Besides these three must-see attractions, if you have time, you can visit the University of Seville and the General Archive of the Indies 📝. Las Setas is nothing special, it looks like Shenzhen Airport 😂. If you want to have a drink on a rooftop terrace, I recommend La Terraza del EME and Hotel Inglaterra 🍸. If you have time, you can go to Granada or Malaga 🚗, about a 2-hour drive.

#celebrateit Besides the intricate palace (check out the earlier post), the garden section of real alcazar is worth exploring too. Overall, you might really wanna vacant out 2 hours minimum for the entire real alcazar. Few crucial things to note before going to Real Alcazar of Seville: 1) book in advance - it’s easily to be sold out even not during peak seasons 2) bring your passport - admission ticket is associated with passport, no passport no entry 3) keep tight to the booked time slot - they only allowed 30 mins interval, and many google reviews mentioned about getting denied after being late 4) google maps “Lion Head entrance” - do not just search “real alcazar of Seville”, it would be close to 15min away from the real entrance, which could cause you late

#celebrateit If I’m to name two must-go’s in Seville—don’t force me to give one, I genuinely can’t—one of them would be Plaza Espana (check out the earlier post of mine). And the other would be Real Alcazar of Seville, which is a citadel left behind by the Moors around ten centuries ago. It’s huge, and can be divided into two sections: palace and garden—I’d leave the garden part to the next post for the garden. Seville used to be the capital of Moorish dynasties for hundreds of years, and the Moors were of Islamic culture. That’s why we were able to see such an impressive palace with refined artistic Islamic ornamentations in Spain.

**Day 1: The Soul Collision of the Old Town, the Royal Palace, and Flamenco in the Rain** At noon, our family of three took the train to Seville. The sky was drizzling, adding a touch of tenderness to this passionate city. We dragged our luggage straight to the apartment in the old town. When we opened the window, we could see the cobblestone road and the orange trees all over the street. The orange-yellow fruits were hanging on the branches. The little guy excitedly shouted, "Mom, this place is like a fairy tale town!" We put down our luggage and rushed to find food! We went into a traditional tapas restaurant recommended by locals. The wooden tables and chairs, and the retro tiled walls, were full of fireworks. We ordered fried squid rings, Iberian ham, garlic shrimp, and potato omelet. Each dish was like opening a blind box - the squid was fresh and tender, the ham was salty and fragrant with bread, and the little guy even asked for "another bite of olives" (the old mother was moved to tears!). What was even more surprising was that there was a photo of the legendary Spanish goalkeeper Casillas and the owner on the wall of the restaurant. My husband, a senior fan, instantly became a fanboy, pulling the owner to ask questions. Although the little guy didn't understand football, he also joined in the fun: "Dad, is this uncle very powerful?" After eating and drinking, we originally planned to visit the Royal Knights Club Bullring, but because it conflicted with the appointment time of the Real Alcazar of Seville, and we would go to the bullring in Ronda later, we decided to just walk around outside. The yellow and white arches of the bullring looked particularly soft in the rain, and the typical Baroque style made people want to take photos. Although the little guy couldn't go in, he was also full of curiosity about the building outside. In the afternoon, we rushed into the Real Alcazar of Seville on time. This architectural treasure that combines Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance styles was simply breathtaking! The palace was originally built in the 10th century as a Moorish fortress. After several expansions and renovations, it became what it is today. The exquisite courtyards, magnificent palaces, and intricate carvings made every step feel like being in the story of One Thousand and One Nights. Especially the Courtyard of the Maidens (Patio de las Doncellas), with its fountains, greenery, and beautiful arcades, was unforgettable. The little guy ran around the courtyard, excited like a little bird, and occasionally picked up small stones on the ground, pretending they were "Moorish gems." At night, we went to a traditional flamenco hall to experience the soul of Spain - flamenco. The dancers' powerful steps, passionate singing, and guitar melodies intertwined, as if pouring all the passion, sadness, and joy onto the stage. Flamenco originated in the Andalusian region and is a fusion of Gypsy, Moorish, and Jewish cultures, with a deep historical background. Although the little guy couldn't understand it, he also swayed to the rhythm. At that moment, our whole family was shocked by this vibrant art form!

The Alcázar of Seville is a stunning blend of Muslim and Christian architecture, reflecting the city’s diverse history. Originally built as a fortress by the Moors in the 10th century, it was later transformed into a royal palace after the Christian reconquest in the 13th century, giving it the unique blend of cultures. The colorful tiles are simply stunning and elegant, and very similar to Peranakan style of building decoration in Singapore and Malaysia.

Sevilla is a city full of oranges 🍊 Came twice, when you get here you will find oranges all over the streets, trees everywhere on the ground 🍊 especially in winter really a lot 。 Plaza de España, Spain One of the must-see attractions! Highly recommended to go before sunset, firstly the sun in the afternoon is too strong, secondly at sunset is the most beautiful 🥹 sunlight shines into every window to take pictures super out of the video The square has street artists dancing flamenco💃, the atmosphere is good, many people gather around, very local characteristics 。 Roya Alcázar de Sevilla, Royal Palace of Seville It is said that the oldest palaces in Europe are the filming locations for Game of Thrones It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance, the queues for offline purchases are long, and you can enter a batch every half hour. Go up to the promenade on the second floor of the garden and take a superb video from a high place! 。 Catedral de Sevilla, the main church of Seville After checking in at the palace, you can walk around the main church. The whole street is very lively. The church can be climbed to the top for a panoramic view of Seville 。 Setas de Sevilla, an urban parasol Claimed to be the largest wooden building in the world, it is very designed and overlooks the cityscape when you climb up! Tickets are required to reach the top

Visiting the Royal Alcázar of Seville is like stepping into a timeless masterpiece where history, art, and nature blend seamlessly. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an architectural gem, showcasing a mesmerizing mix of Mudéjar, Gothic, Renaissance,and Baroque styles that reflect centuries of cultural influence. From the moment you enter, the intricate tilework, elaborate archways, and beautifully carved ceilings transport you to another era. The Patio de las Doncellas (Courtyard of the Maidens) is a highlight, with its symmetrical beauty and serene reflecting pool, while the Hall of Ambassadors dazzles with its ornate domed ceiling and golden details. The lush gardens are equally breathtaking—filled with orange trees, fountains, and colorful flowers—offering a peaceful retreat that feels almost magical. It's easy to spend hours wandering through the greenery, taking in the fragrant air and capturing Instagram-worthy shots at every turn. Whether you’re a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply someone seeking beauty, the Alcázar is an absolute must-visit. Its grandeur and elegance leave a lasting impression, making it one of the most enchanting places in Seville. I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to avoid long queues and taking a guided tour to fully appreciate its rich history. #sevillealcazar #seville #spain
