el real alcázar




Although it was built on the site of a true Islamic fort, the Real Alcázar (translation: Royal Palace) was actually built in the 14th century by Christian rulers in the then-popular mudéjar (translation: "I love the Alhambra and want one for myself") style.

Not that I could really tell the difference between a 14th-century copycat and the real thing.
