Mudejar/Moorish Courtyard
The Mudejar Courtyard or Moorish Courtyard is the only area in the Alcázar which still retains its original layout. The enclosed courtyard is located in front of the north-side the façade of the large vaulted gallery where the splendid Roman sarcophagus is exhibited and at the top, closing the height, the well-known chemin de ronde, the parapet between the most ancient towers: the Lions Tower and the Keep Tower.
With its rectangular plan, paths criss-cross the courtyard ending in two ponds; in the centre of the courtyard there is a fountain with small ceramic channels running from it. The flora is typical for Andalusian gardens: orange trees, lemon trees and flower beds of myrtles and wallflowers with aromatic jasmines on its walls.
