Reales Alcázares

What is mudejar style architecture you ask? Well, it’s western architecture served up with a twist of Islamic inspiration. It’s characterized by elaborately carved ceilings, intricate tile work and geometric motifs. The Alcazar’s floor plan is also heavily influenced by Islamic architecture, its thick-walled rooms are built around a central courtyard, which not only offers privacy from the outside world, but also helps keep the temperature inside pleasantly cool under the blazing Spanish sun.
