What you'll see
Courtyards wrapped in carved plaster and coloured tiles, cool halls with painted wooden ceilings, a long sunken pool, and then acres of palm and orange gardens with fountains and peacocks.
A brief history
Most of the palace you see was built for the Christian king Peter I in the 1360s by craftsmen trained in the Moorish style; Spain's royal family still uses the upper floors when in Seville.
