2 euro Spain 2024 – Seville

Seville is a city in southern Spain with a population of about 700 thousand inhabitants, the largest city in Andalusia. The old part of the city contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alcazar palace complex, the Cathedral and the Archives General of the Indies.
The coin depicts the royal alcazar (fortress) in the city of Seville.
The first palace was built by the Almohad dynasty. Most of the modern complex was built on the ruins of an Arab fortress by King Pedro I of Castile; construction began in 1364. The palace is one of the best surviving examples of Mudejar architecture. Added later (during the reign of Charles V), Gothic elements contrast with the dominant Islamic style. For almost 700 years it was the palace of the Spanish kings. The upper chambers of the Alcazar are still used by the royal family as their official residence in Seville.
