Patio de las Doncellas
Once inside you arrive onto the Patio de las Doncellas, the main courtyard of the palace. This was the center of public life in the palace of Pedro I. From the patio, which is named after the ladies (doncellas) who spent much of their time here, you can reach several halls: the Hall of the Kings, the Hall of Charles V and the Hall of the Embassadors.
The latter was used for ceremonial events. Locally known as the Salón de Embajadores, it is the most magnificent part of the palatial complex. Intricately decorated archways with horseshoe arches give access to the hall which is covered with a stunning dome, Dome of the Embassadors Hall, Royal Alcazar,
created in 1389 in a Moorish style by Diego Ruiz, a Sevillian craftsman.
