The Alcazar, also called Real Alcázar or Reales Alcázares in Seville began to take its present form after the conquest in 713 of Seville by the Arabs who used Alcázares as the residence of its leaders from 720.
After the Reconquista in 1248, it was the accommodation of King Ferdinand III, taking on the habit of lodging the successive monarchs.
It is now used as a place of accommodation for members of the Royal Family and dignitaries who visit the city. Every summer concerts are held at night in the gardens. The important events that take place in the city are often held in the Alcazar.
The Alcazar and its gardens are one of the main attractions of the Seville.
