Europe’s oldest royal palace and now a world heritage site. Built in the 14th century, it has beautiful, calm gardens and pools with towering palm trees right in the city centre. It’s next to the overbearing gothic Seville Cathedral - the third largest in the world - and its tower, La Giralda.

It's a Moorish palace from the Moor occupation. It's much less manicured than al Hambra in Granada, thus much more human in atmosphere and scale. If you're a fan of Islamic art (I am) then your breath will be taken away by the exquisite, mathematically inspired carvings.

It's right in the centre by the cathedral, which is dark and dingy in comparison

Sexy, moorish-style boutique hotel with beautiful décor, air con (thank god!) and flat-screen TV. Friendly, helpful staff. Great internet offers - as little as 80 Euro per night inc breakfast.
