Seville is reconquered
After the entry of the so-called Saint King, during his reign and, above all, during that of Alfonso X The Wise, the court of Seville lived through times of splendour that for decades made it the capital. Intellectuals and artists found here a refuge for their talents and a certain tolerance which allowed brilliant developments in science and culture.
It was then that Alfonso ordered the construction of his Palace on the site of the old Almohad palace, in Gothic style. The remains of this palace are considered the most southerly example of civil Gothic architecture in Europe.
