    A tree lined plaza with a view of the cathedral Belltower that's best known for being the place where you buy the tickets to the royal Alcázar. If you come here to purchase said tickets make sure to bring your passport,you won't get the ticket without it, and come early, as the line can get quite long and there is precious little shade in the plaza.

    Small but nice yard. You will passe through it when leaving Alcazar.

    It is called "The Little Purple House" because there used to be some flags painted on the archway that leads to it from the neighbouring Plaza del Triunfo. It was previously called “Patio grande”, but later on, in the 18th century, it was called Patio de Banderas. It was considered to be a "plaza" (square) due to its regular shape and because it is a large open area surrounded by buildings. It used to be the parade ground of the Real Alcázar palace in Moorish times. The Patio de Banderas is currently rectangular in shape. There is a traditional pavement, with large Tarifa slabs, all around it, outside the houses. There is a double row of orange trees surrounding the square. The central part was refurbished in 1929: a new fountain was installed, replacing the old one which had been completely destroyed, and yellow soil ("albero") was added. In one of the corners there is an archway leading to the former Jewish quarter, which nowadays is the popular neighbourhood of Santa Cruz. From here you have a wonderful view of the cathedral and the Giralda.

    Well this more a Plaza than a Patio, as it is much bigger than the ones we're used to see in Seville or Cordoba. There are some more beautiful and impressive, but as this one is adjacent to the exit of the Alcazar, no doubt you'll pass by it and appreciate it. By the way, there is no connection with the actor Antonio Banderas, except his picture in instagram ;-)

    Buildings are nice, but there's nothing in the space... Also, one of the buldings next to the Juderia's tunnel is falling apart. Good picture site, although

    Small plaza you can expect to come across on your way to the Seville Cathedral. You can see the edge of the cathedral from the back of the plaza. There isn't really anything to do over the daytime, but apparently, it's slightly more lovely at night.

  • 5/5 Paulino M. 2 years ago on Google • 244 reviews
    Wonderful place, inside of the wall of the Alcázares Reales, with an amazing views of Giralda and Seville cathedral. It's the main yard of the Alcázares Reales and the yard of forming infantry and chivalry regiments in the XVII Century.

    A nice spot for a photo of the Giralda. It has nice orange trees, very typical for Andalusian cities to have and makes their area unique.

    I honestly never leave bad reviews but please read as a warning before dining here. I ordered tuna salad (which was essentially 1 beefy tomato and half a tin of John West tuna chunks) and paid €9+ for the pleasure. My partner ordered pork cheeks and fries - which they didn't have therefore, he asked for a similar option. The waitress pointed to a 'similar' plate and he said 'yes' not knowing fully what he agreed to but was expecting something similar to pork and chips. 5 minutes later the same waitress brought my partner a plate of pork meatballs and fries (IKEA style) and the salad. We ate and finished our meals. We were approached by a male waiter who said they got the order wrong, and actually gave my partner the wrong plate of food and wanted us to pay for 3 meals (bare in mind - it was their mistake and we only ate the 2 meals we were given) we refused to pay for their mistake, and said we would pay for what we ordered or ate and were met with rudeness and shouting by the male waiter. The ladies who served us were lovely. The gentleman was unpleasant and stated it was unfair on him (despite them messing up the order). Please don't waste your time. There's better quality food of better value around the corner with more plesent and helpful staff.

    Mandado construir por Abderraman III, es una plaza que sirve de paso entre el famoso barrio de Santa Cruz y la plaza del Triunfo. Impresionantes vistas de la Giralda.

  • 5/5 Cheri V. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a delightful little orangerie in the center of the Courtyard just outside of the cathedral walls. There’s nothing to do here really but there are several vendors selling artwork, and some street performers singing or dancing.

  • 3/5 Barath R. 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    The courtyard is great but there are no benches. The ticketing system must be changed. A lot of people, including kids and pets, wait for hours in the cold morning only to be told that the tickets are sold out!

    (Translated by Google) Spectacular walled square with views of the cathedral and La Giralda from the inside. It has orange groves. It is very beautiful and has a lot of history.

(Original) Espectacular plaza amurallada con vistas a la catedral y La Giralda desde el interior. Tiene plantación de naranjos. Es muy bonita y tiene mucha historia.
