Summary
Archaeological and documentary evidence reveals the existence of an upper floor with formal spaces in the Palace of Peter I at the Alcázar of Seville, a unique feature among Al-Andalus buildings. This discovery challenges conventional architectural understandings, as such structures were uncommon in the region. The study proposes a hypothetical reconstruction of this floor, analyzing its form and extent to infer its original function. Additionally, it examines subsequent modifications during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, providing insights into the palace's evolution over time.
