Seville Royal Shipyard, Medieval shipyard in Seville, Spain
The Royal Shipyards extend across seventeen brick-vaulted naves connected by arches, covering an area of 15,000 square meters near the Guadalquivir River.
King Alfonso X initiated construction of the Royal Shipyards in 1252 to build galleys for military campaigns against North Africa after the Christian reconquest of Seville.
The architecture combines Gothic and Mudejar styles, reflecting the fusion of Christian and Islamic influences in medieval Spanish construction techniques.
The structure contains seven preserved naves, which remain closed to visitors while undergoing renovation work for future public access.
The facility manufactured ships for both the Reconquista campaigns and the Hundred Years War before transforming into warehouses, a hospital, and artillery storage.
