Plasterwork, Entrance Hall, Mudejar Palace, Real Alcazar, Seville, Andalusia, Spain

Decorative plasterwork in the narrow passage of the Vestibulo, or Entrance Hall, beyond the main entrance to the Mudejar Palace, or Palacio del Rey Don Pedro, built by Pedro I of Castile, 1334-1369, in 1364, in the Real Alcazar, a Moorish royal palace in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. The 2 narrow passages have right-angle bends to maintain privacy. The passages border the Patio de las Doncellas, or Courtyard of the Maidens and the Patio de las Munecas, or Courtyard of the Dolls. 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
