Walking Through a Millennium of History: The Real Alcázar of Seville

As the morning sunlight began to illuminate the alleys of Seville, I found myself standing before a small, unassuming door. Beyond this modest entrance lay a palace where a thousand years of history breathed—**the Real Alcázar**. The moment I stepped through the entrance, the atmosphere changed. Every wall, ceiling, and ripple in the garden seemed to carry layers of history—traces of faith and heresy, power and art, war and peace. Passing under intricately carved arches, I arrived at the Palace of Don Pedro I. This palace was built by Islamic architects for a Christian king. It was not a contradiction but a harmony, where the cold stone walls shimmered warmly under the sunlight.
