After touring Real Alcázar, most tourists are chattering with excitement about their experience and do not notice much as they walk through Patio de Banderas. Yet it is also rich with history. This square was a Muslim fortress, a 10th century palace and an 18th century armory. It is also called the Courtyard of Flags because of its tradition of receiving kings to the Real Alcázar. Now it is a walkway back to Plaza del Triunfo. On the way, enjoy the marvelous view of La Giralda.
