The Alcazar of Seville, officially the Royal Alcazar of Seville, is a historic royal palace in Seville, Spain, and one of the official residences of the Spanish royal family. It was formerly the site of the Islamic era citadel of the city, begun in the 10th century under the Umayyads and developed into a larger palace complex by the Abbadid dynasty and the Almohads; after the Castilian conquest of the city in 1248 the site was progressively rebuilt, and among its most important later additions is a richly decorated Mudéjar style palace built by Pedro I during the 1360s.
