It’s a fortress, it’s a palace; it’s an Alcazar! This is Seville Spain. There are several all over this country! The exterior stone and mud wall is early moorish era. Then inside the Christian reconquista era leaves the original; adds their own graphics with paintings and portraits. Layers of history in the architectural features throughout – a mixture of Moorish and Christian meet royalty. It is in a balance of design called mudejar referring to the layering of different aesthetics. The moorish calligraphy in the front wall (seen thru the arch) proclaims Allah Is God Is Great. The letters continue throughout the palace. They can be read right to left; left to right; up, down and back side foremost in a mirror!
