This portico reflects the increasingly classical tastes that followed the Baroque period around the middle of the eighteenth century. The inside halls are filled with magnificent collections of Flemish-style eighteenth-century tapestries telling the story of the conquest of Tunis. Beautiful ceramic tile plinths, created by Cristobal de Augusta in the mid-sixteenth century, provide a perfect frame for these tapestries.
The Bourbon monarchs of the nineteenth century did not fail to leave their own powerful stamp on the Alcazar. They re-arranged the spaces on the top floor of the building, refurbishing some of the halls in the style of that century, and decorating them with tapestries and chandeliers, clocks, furniture and an impressive collection of paintings.
Last, but certainly not least, we found the palace gardens, continuouslychanging since the Renaissance with an outpouring of fountains and ponds,pavilions, arches and galleries. It is worth noting that, at that time, Gothic art forms were closely associated with Christianity and the Crusades.
Opting for this style symbolized the Christian West's triumph over Islam. The chapel in the Gothic Palace has medieval rib vaults and a Renaissance frieze that was added in the 16th century. It is a copy of the original altarpiece in the Chapel of the Virgen de la Antigua in Seville Cathedral. This courtyard had two levels: the lower part had a central pool, surrounded by galleries and sunken gardens the summer gardens , while the upper part had two accessible walkways that crossed each other the winter gardens.
The lower garden was filled in after the Lisbon earthquake of The courtyard harmoniously combines elements typical of a Castilian palace with the esthetic and privacy of Islamic design. During the reign of Philip II of Spain, the center of the courtyard was dominated by a fountain that was installed later on.
