Why do you have to see the Gardens of the Alcazar of Seville?
The Persian Sheikh Saadi, one of the main Persian poets of the Middle Ages, said that "the garden is a delight for the eyes and a consolation for the soul". Perhaps it was this consolation that the first Arab kings sought, who designed a set of gardens connected inside the Reales Alcázares of Seville. Thus, the former orchards were transformed into beautiful royal gardens. Gardens that flowed with the passing of time, like river water, which - Heraclitus told us - despite looking the same, is never the same. Nor have the gardens of the Alcazar of Seville always been the same. Despite being the oldest gardens in Sevilla, they and their history have changed over time to become one of the most beautiful and special gardens in the world. Gardens that you have to see if you visit Seville, and that we want you to see with us in one of our guided tours by the Alcázar.
