Chris and Michelle were pretending to wait in the long ticket line for Real Alcázar when a bell inside La Giralda began striking twelve. Each peal sounded like a death knell. Real Alcázar is the epicenter of 2,000 years of Sevilla’s history. The earliest building on this site dates from the 1st century. It continued to evolve until Spanish kings transformed the Islamic palace into the Reales Alcázares de Sevilla during the mid-13th century. Your entrance into this UNESCO World Heritage Site is through this 12th-century gate named Puerta del León.
