Gardens of the Royal Alcázar of Seville, Historic Islamic garden in Seville, Spain.

The gardens extend over 60,000 square meters with water channels, fountains, pools, and geometric patterns incorporating Islamic and European design elements.

The gardens originated in the 8th century under Moorish rule and underwent major transformations during the 14th century when King Pedro commissioned the Mudejar palace.

The Mercury Pool, constructed in 1733, and the Pavilion of Carlos V from 1543 represent different architectural periods within the garden's evolution.

The gardens limit entry to 750 visitors at once, making advance ticket booking essential, especially during peak tourist seasons from March through October.

The Baths of Maria Padilla, originally designed as rainwater tanks, became an underground reservoir beneath the palace with vaulted stone ceilings.
