Description
Entrance to the Hall of the Ambassadors from Felipe II Ceiling Room in the Alcazar of Seville, Spain. 1427 AD.
These three horseshoe arches give access to the Ambassadors Hall from the opposite side of the courtyard in the Royal Alcazars of Seville.
Although apparently similar to the Al-Hambra in Granada, The Alcazar in Seville was built by Castilian Christians on the site of an Abbadid Muslim alcazar, or residential fortress, destroyed after the Christian conquest of Seville.
The Alcazar is a preeminent example of Mudejar architecture (Christian architecture of Muslim inspiration) in the Iberian Peninsula but also features Gothic, Renaissance and Romanesque design elements from previous stages of construction. The palace is an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
