The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos in Córdoba, Spain, is a historic palace that dates back to the 14th century. Originally constructed by King Alfonso XI of Castile, the fortress served multiple functions over the centuries, including as a residence for Spanish monarchs and a headquarters for the Spanish Inquisition. The Alcázar features a blend of architectural styles, with its robust medieval walls and towers juxtaposed against elegant Mudejar-style gardens. Notable attractions within the complex include the Hall of Mosaics, which showcases Roman mosaics discovered in Córdoba, and the stunning gardens filled with fountains, reflecting pools, and meticulously maintained flowerbeds.
