The Real Alcázar of Seville is a complex of palaces surrounded by a wall. Pedro I the Cruel rebuilt the former Almohad structure to convert it into a royal residence in the 14th century. It features elements from all periods, although the Mudejar and Renaissance styles predominate.

The Upper Palace, situated at the top of the Mudejar Palace, is managed by National Heritage.

It comprises: the vestibule, built during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs; the Catholic Monarchs’ chapel; the state dining room, built during the reign of Philip II; the Catholic Monarchs’ viewing gallery, influenced by Granada and built in the years following 1492; King Pedro’s bedroom, which is one of the rooms in the 14th-century Mudejar palace; and the official chamber or audience chamber.

Visits are organised by the Board of Trustees of the Royal Alcázar of Seville.

The rest of the complex, also managed by the Board of Trustees of the Royal Alcázar of Seville, comprises various areas, notably: the Hall of Justice, the Admiral’s Chamber, King Don Pedro’s Palace, the Hall of the Catholic Monarchs, the Ambassadors’ Hall, the Courtyard of the Maidens, the Royal Bedchamber, the Hall of Lost Steps, the Hall of the Infantes, the Prince’s Garden, the English Garden, the Pavilion of Charles V and the Marchena Gate.

The tour takes visitors around the Courtyard of the Maidens, where official life took place, and the Courtyard of the Dolls, reserved for private events.
