Agnes Domany Photography: Seville

Showing posts with label Seville. Show all posts

I wanted to make a whole post about the Cathedral of Seville, as this is the largest in Gothic style. Actually it was a huge Muslim mosque but after the Reconquista it was rebuilt in Gothic style. It demonstrates the wealth of Seville when it was an important trading center along the Guadalquivir. The main altar was reconstructed when we visited anyway it was really gorgeous.

The Maria Luisa Park was for me one of the magical plasces in Seville, as I am a huge fan of the Art Deco and Neo Mundejar architecture. The park was built for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929 and contains two amazing buildings: the Exposition Building on Plaza España and the Mundejar Pavilon. On the "Spain Square" you can find paintings on tiles of every important Spanish city with delicate decoration. The park has also some beautiful lakes and many palm trees and other Mediterranean plants. I added some photos of the Hotel Alfonso XIII too and of Palacio San Telmo. They are really remarkable buildings too and you can find them on your way to the park.

Finally I can continue to show you my photos of Seville. This post is mainly about one of the most beautiful examples of the mundéjar architecture: The Alcázar of Seville. This was originally a Moorish fortress and it remains in really good condition through the centuries. I was fascinated by the rich details and decoration. I added some other pictures of Seville too, what I took after visiting the Alcázar.
