Patio del León, Alcázar of Seville, Medieval courtyard in Alcázar, Seville, Spain
The Patio del León features stone columns supporting arched walkways, surrounded by detailed Islamic-style tilework and traditional Spanish architectural elements.
Built during the 10th century as part of the original fortress, this courtyard underwent modifications under different rulers, from Muslim caliphs to Christian monarchs.
The patio displays the fusion of Mudéjar architecture, combining Islamic decorative patterns with European construction methods prevalent in medieval Spain.
Visitors can access the patio daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM in winter and until 7:00 PM in summer through the main entrance of the Alcázar.
The patio connects the Puerta del León entrance with the Patio de la Montería, marking the transition between public and private sections of the palace.
