To the south of the cathedral, the Alcázar is a sprawling palace and garden complex which served as the city's center of power. The site was occupied since ancient times but was located outside the Roman city walls.<ref name="Bloom-2009">{{Cite book |last= |first= |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=un4WcfEASZwC&dq=grove+encyclopedia+islamic+%22site+of+the+Alc%C3%A1zar%22&pg=RA2-PA198 |title=The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-19-530991-1 |editor-last=M.

Some limited parts of the palace still date from its 12th-century expansion under Almohad rule, but most of the site was redeveloped after the Christian conquest of the city in the 13th century. A major construction campaign took place in the 1360s under Pedro I, who constructed a new palace in Mudéjar style, aided in part by craftsmen from [[Granada]]. Richly-decorated chambers and courtyards date from this period, such as the ''Patio de las Doncellas'' and the ''Salón de Embajadores''.<ref name="Bloom-2009" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ruggles |first=D.

Other historic mansions include the [[Palace of the Countess of Lebrija]], the ''[[Palacio de las Dueñas]]'', and the ''[[Casa de los Pinelo]]s''.
