7. Royal Alcázar of Seville

There are many things that make the Royal Alcázar, Seville's royal palace, special. It's particularly gratifying to know that Spain's royal family still uses part of it as a residence today.

This is not just one building, but a collection of them, ensconced in lush gardens.
