King Pedro I of Castile

Medieval & RenaissanceRoyalty📍 Spain

📍Patio de Banderas, s/n, 41004 Seville, Spain

1364 – 1369

“The old palace was a Moorish fortress — magnificent but not kingly enough for Castile's ambitions. I brought craftsmen from Granada itself, the finest Mudéjar masters, and told them to blend the best of both civilisations. The result was the Alcázar's royal palace — arches of interlocking geometry, plaster so intricate it seems woven from air. My enemies called me el Cruel; those I protected called me el Justo. History must choose.”

👍 LovedThe garden fountains and the orange trees — Seville's light is unlike any other in Europe
👎 DislikedThe relentless pressure from noble factions who resented a king who could not be controlled
