Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, the Alcazar of Seville is a fortified palace built by the Umayyads of Spain.
The construction of the alcazar began in 844 on an ancient Roman site. Modified several times over the centuries, it has several palaces. In 844, the alcazar played a predominant role in repelling a Viking attack. Consisting of several parts such as the courtyard of the Dolls or the courtyard of the Demoiselles, the monument is still used today by the Spanish royal family. The alcazar was used as part of the filming of the Game of Thrones series where it houses certain scenes taking place in the Aquatic Gardens of Dorne.
