You're standing at the Alcázar of Seville, the royal palace right next to the cathedral. The word alcázar comes from Arabic and means something like fortress or palace. This is probably the oldest royal palace in Europe still in use. When the Spanish royal family visits Seville, they stay on the upper floor.
