[April 22, Sevilla]
The Alcazar is our favorite building in Sevilla. It is a Moorish-style palace built 14th c. by a Christian king (Pedro the "cruel"), who appreciated the artful tradition his people displaced. Being of Christian origin, it was never despoiled and today suggests the splendor that the Moors once enjoyed.
It is a succession of arches, painted stucco, luminous ceilings, and azulejos almost impossible to comprehend.
