Ambassador's Hall in the Alcázar of Seville, Spain
Construction of the Alcázar of Seville began in 914, and by 1364 the various buildings of this Moorish palace were connected and collected into the complex that is still in use today as a royal palace. The traditional tile and mosaic work, along with some of the buildings, reflect the original Muslim/Moorish style. But additional buildings show other influences: tiles and relief carvings that depict animals and people demonstrate the impact of the secular and Catholic populations in Seville after the Moors lost control of Spain in 1492.
