About this experience

This experience involves a guided exploration of the Reales Alcázares of Seville, where participants will learn about its extensive history, spanning from the Almohads to the present monarchy. The tour reveals details that are often overlooked without a local guide. Following the Alcázar visit, guests can relax in its gardens. The tour continues with a visit to the Cathedral of Seville, completed in the 15th century on the site of a 12th-century mosque, which is among the largest churches worldwide. During the 1.5-hour guided portion, visitors will view the golden altarpiece and significant art collection. A key highlight is the Giralda bell tower, originally built as a minaret in the late 12th century, standing at 98 meters. Participants will also gain insight into the complex's origins as an Arab mosque, including features like the Court of Ablutions.
