Seville - Alcazar - Palace of Pedro I - Exterior 08 (16x9) oki

It was built by King Pedro I between 1356 and 1366 in more than 2,500 square meters, and the palace owes its name (Mudejar Palace) to the Mudejar style predominating, both in structure and decoration, in all its rooms. However, it is a new Christian construction over existing Almohad remains, and not an Arab building fitted out for the use of a Christian monarchy. The palace was structured around the Courtyards of the Dolls and the Maidens, courtyards with the intention of differentiating the private life from the public one of the monarch, around which the rest of the palatial rooms were arranged.

Pedro I, who was in love with Seville and the exotic taste of Muslim palaces, established the seat of his court in the Seville capital and planned a great palace to magnify his power. However, the project was not completed because he was assassinated in the Alcazar by his half-brother Enrique II after a civil war that led to the arrival of the Trastamara dynasty to the monarchy. Thus the works of the palace were slowed down until the arrival to power of the Catholic Monarchs, at which time, Seville acquired great strategic relevance for the conquest of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada.

The Mudejar Palace has undergone important remodeling in courtyards, gardens and buildings. It has been adapted to new tastes and styles as the centuries progressed, such as those carried out by Isabel I, Carlos V or Felipe II. So, countless interesting stories and anecdotes, such as those of the Hiring House or the Hunting Courtyard ones, will be told to the visitors by our guides as they make the tour for the different rooms.
