This is a large pool overlooked by a balustrade and a striking 16th-century fountain featuring a bronze statue of the god Mercury. The pool reflects the Gallery of the Grotesque—a long arcade wall adorned with mosaic fragments and whimsical designs.

The Alcázar Seville gardens are the palace’s lush, sprawling backyard—an oasis of fountains, pavilions, and exotic plants spread across seven hectares. Your Alcázar Seville tickets include access to these gardens, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city outside. Further, if you’ve watched Game of Thrones, you might recognize the gardens of the city of Dorne—those scenes were shot in the Alcázar Seville gardens.
Walking through these seven hectares of greenery seems like entering a fantastical world. Dotted with low fountains, geometric paths, and tranquil pools, the gardens seamlessly blend Islamic, Mudejar, and Renaissance styles and elements.
The best way to visit the Alcázar Seville gardens is to book your Alcázar Seville tickets online. Whether you book entry tickets or a guided tour, you get to access these stunning gardens and enjoy the peace they offer.
Book Alcázar Seville TicketsThe Alcázar Seville gardens have evolved over 1,000 years, shaped by the tastes of Moorish rulers, Christian kings, and modern monarchs. During the Islamic reign, the gardens were filled with orchards, which served two main purposes—providing food for the palace’s inhabitants and enhancing its aesthetic value.
The 13th century saw the gardens undergo a renovation with Gothic and Romanesque elements, while the Italian designer Vermondo Resta popularized the Italian Mannerist style in the 17th century under the reign of Philip III.
Alcázar Seville HistoryThe Alcázar Seville gardens cover a total of 7 hectares. This expansive space gave the Spanish rulers the real estate to build several gardens, each with its own style and unique highlights.
The gardens you see in the city of Dorne in Game of Thrones were filmed in the Alcázar Seville gardens. The Mercury’s Pool, for example, was showcased in season 5 of the show, and the rest of the gardens feature several times in scenes set in Dorne.
Spanish for the Royal Alcázar of Seville, the palace is the oldest still in use by the Spanish Royal Family. Its upper stories are still occupied by the royal family whenever they visit Seville.
Several key locations appear in the show, including the Seville Shipyard, the Hall of Ambassadors, the Baths of Lady María de Padilla, and Mercury’s Pond. If you’re rewatching Season 5, keep an eye out for these iconic spots.
While the gardens are largely wheelchair accessible, keep in mind that the cobbled terrain isn’t exactly ideal for those with reduced mobility. However, you will be able to explore most parts of the garden during your visit. ****
Enjoy access to the real-life kingdom of Dorne from Game of Thrones in the heart of Seville.
