The Real Alcázar (Royal Palace) of Seville is located next to the cathedral and is one of the most visited monuments in the city. The Alcázar has been tinkered with over the centuries, so it has a unique architecture. The Alcázar consists of several beautiful buildings and gardens in different architectural styles (Almohad, Mudejar, Gothic and Renaissance). Most noticeable is the Mudejar style, a mix of Arabic and Christian architecture. The Alcázar was later enlarged under the later kings. For example, Gothic and Renaissance elements were added to the palace under Charles V in the 16th century. This Renaissance style (Italian) is located on the upper floor of the Alcázar of Seville. This is the part the royal couple stays in when they make an official visit to Seville. Many historical events have taken place in the Alcázar. One of the greatest was the marriage of Charles I to Isabella of Portugal. On May 3, 1691, a fire broke out and destroyed a theater in the Patio de León. Other buildings could hardly escape the fire.
