Photos From The Royal Alcazar

 

Arches, and courtyards, and

fountains, oh my!

Look closely at the plaster carving

on the underside of the arch.

I think this would be a good look for

one of the room ceilings in our house.

And this would be an even better ceiling.

It's the grand ceiling from the 1300s

in the Hall of the Ambassadors (Salon

de Embajadores).  In Islam, The room

is a cube representing Earth and

the dome is the starry heavens.

It's magnificient.

Look at how ornate this

work is.  Just stunning.

Another Mudejar ceiling.

The top of the Giralda of the

Seville Cathedral.  Picture

taken from a courtyard

 in the Royal Alcazar.

The entry way into the Royal Alcazar.

This is the entry gate to the

Royal Alcazar.  It practically

shouts "I am a Lion.  I am

the King of Spain."

I'm sure there's a reason this two rabbits

are on the tiling work, but I sure don't

know the reason.

One of the gardens, fit for a king.
