Seville

General low angle view of the arcade courtyard at Patio de las Doncellas (Courtyard of the Maidens), Real Alcazar, Seville, Spain, looking at the upper portico, pictured on December 24, 2006, in the afternoon. The upper storey of the Patio was built by Luis de Vega under the reign of Charles V, 1540-1572. The Real Alacazar was commissioned by Pedro I of Castile in 1364 to be built in the Mudejar style by Moorish craftsmen. The palace, built on the site of an earlier Moorish palace, is a stunning example of the style and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The garden in this courtyard is of a Moorish plan.
