From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An alcázar is a type of Islamic castle or palace located in the Iberian Peninsula (also known as al-Andalus) built during Muslim rule between the 8th and 15th centuries.They functioned as homes and regional capitals for governmental figures throughout the Umayyad caliphate and later, for Christian rulers following the Spanish Reconquista. The term alcázar is also used for many medieval castles built by Christians on early Roman, Visigothic or Islamic fortifications and is frequently used as a synonym for castillo or castle.
This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
