TALES OF THE ROYAL ALCAZAR OF SEVILLE
MERVYN SAMUEL
The Alcázar or Royal Palace of Seville has almost a millennium history beginning in the Islamic period of the 11th century and continuing to the present day, when it continues to fulfil its original role as a royas residence. Over the centuries buildings have been added in very different periods and style, while the gardens have evolved to reflect the cultures and uses to which the palatine complex has been put by its varied occupants. In 40 chapters, Tales of the Royal Alcazar of Seville evokes figures as diverse as the Poet Kingö Al Mutamid, who ended his life en North African exile, and Saint Ferdinand III who reconquered the city in 1248. During the reign of his son, Alfonso X Teh learnedö, the palace became a centre for multicultural endeavours that laid the basis for the European Renaissance.
