GARDEN OF THE GALLEY🇪🇦 The Garden ofthe Galley is named by the galleys that there were cut out of the myrtle hedges, as an imitation of naval engagements, bombarding each other with water cannons. Today nothing of these galleys remains. The garden includes four beds planted with a rich variety of flowers and Mediterranean shrubs. It is connected to the King Peter I Palace by a pergola supported on pillars with Renaissance reliefdecoration. In its centre rises a marble column erected in homage of the king Al-Mutamid, governor and poet of Seville. It is inscribed on one side with one of his poems in which the King exrpresses his longing to return to the gardens of his "blessed palace": "God grant that I may die in Seville and that our graves be opened there at the resurrection". . . . . #RealAlcázar#turismo#Arquitectura#cultura#realalcazar#seville#sevilla#andalucia#andalusia#travel#tourist#vacation#solotravel#travelwriter#blogger#spain#españa#wanderlust#travelgram#vandershka#travelling#hiking#travelbug#follome#likeforlike#like4like#follow4follow#4f4
