Real Alcázar and its collection

Real Alcázar
Source

Real Alcázar is one of the best examples of Mudéjar architecture and is the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe. The gargantuan palace complex was originally a Moorish fort and is surrounded by vast gardens. You enter the palace into the Lion's Patio through Puerta del León. The following patio (Patio de la Montería) is named after the hunters who gathered here and it is bordered by the Mudéjar style facade of the Palacio Pedro I. The main patio, Patio de las Doncellas, served as the central meeting place. The royal gardens consist of several parts of different styles, with a number of statues, fountains, and ponds.
