6Alcázar of Seville

Unlike the Alcázar of Segovia, the Alcázar of Seville dazzles with its fusion of Moorish and Christian styles. Originally a Moorish fortress, it became a royal palace after the Reconquista and is still used by Spain’s monarchy today.

Its Mudejar courtyards, ornate tilework, and lush gardens make it one of the most exquisite examples of Islamic-influenced architecture in Spain. Fans of Game of Thrones may recognize it as the setting for the Water Gardens of Dorne, adding to its global allure.
