So you're visiting Seville? Then you know that Seville is a beautiful and tourist-friendly city, with a lot to see1
I've lived here since December 2017 and still haven't seen half of it. So today I decided to write about one of the best attraction of the city, the one that you CAN’T miss, no matter how short your stay is.
THE ROYAL ALCÁZAR
WHY IS IT ONE OF THE BEST ATTRACTIONS?
The city is one of the most beautiful places in Spain 9especially in spring0, and is a very, very big place with 14 000 m2 covered in buildings and 7 acres of garden lands.
But it is so much more1 The culture behind it is very important. It is a set of palaces built during different periods of history, full of elements of various ages.
The main structure was built during the High Middle Ages, however the attraction has characteristics of the islamic art 'mudejar', the gothic style, renaissance, mannerism and baroque. It is considering the 6th most visited monument in Spain, due to the amount of visitors in 2017, which got very close to the visitors to the Cathedral of Seville. Both were declared World Heritage Sites in 1987, together with the Indian Files.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:
I could stay there for hours, which is why I advise you to go with enough time to see EVERYTHING. After all, it is the real palace of the Royal Family, haven’t I said it before? The Royal Alcazar is the accomodation f the Royal Family when they come to Seville.
Changing the subject: this attraction is located in the heart of Seville, really close to the Constitution Avenue. So, when you have finished your visit you have two options: you can visit the Cathedral of Seville, the biggest in Spain and the 3º biggest in the word, or you can sit in a restaurant and appreciate the surroundings. If you have enough time, you could try both.
