19.30-22.00: Visit to the Alcázar

An exclusive night visit has been organised for the Conference participants, followed by a cocktail reception hosted by the University of Seville. The Alcázar of Seville is a royal palace, originally a Moorish fort. Subsequent monarchs have added their own additions to the Alcázar, despite this, it still offers some of the best surviving examples of Moorish architecture. The upper levels of the Alcázar are still used by the royal family as their official Seville residence.
