Portraits of Spanish monarchs painted by Diego de Esquivel in 1599, in the Salon de Embajadores, or Hall of Ambassadors, in the Mudejar Palace, or Palacio del Rey Don Pedro, built by Pedro I of Castile in 1364, in the Real Alcazar, a Moorish royal palace in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. The Hall of Ambassadors was the throne room of King Don Pedro I, 1334-1369. The square shape of the room represents the earth and the circular dome, dating to 1427, represents the universe. The Alcazar was first founded as a fort in 913, then developed as a palace in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries and used by both Muslim and Christian rulers. The Alcazar is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
