Cúpula del Salón de los Embajadores - Real Alcázar de Sevilla📷🇪🇦 The Almohad monarchs had a magnificent fortress built in Seville. At later dates this construction underwent notable modifications by the Christian kings. Pedro I ordered to erect a palace in Mudejar style in the XIV century, the construction emulates the palace of the lions of the Alhambra in Granada. In it is the Hall of Ambassadors, the most luxurious and decorated room in the palatial enclosure. The dome that the image offers us corresponds to that of the Ambassadors' Hall, it is one of the top works of Mudéjar Art that denotes a marked Islamic influence. This wonderful dome is made of wood and is supported by pendentives with golden muqarnas, these consist of juxtaposed and hanging prisms that reminds us of stalactites. The dome is dated 1427 and was made by the carpenter Diego Ruiz. This dome did that in the past . . . . #RealAlcázar#turismo#Arquitectura#cultura#realalcazar#seville#sevilla#andalucia#andalusia#travel#tourist#vacation#solotravel#travelwriter#blogger#spain#españa#wanderlust#travelgram#vandershka#travelling#hiking#travelbug#cupula#dome
