🪴 Siheyuan | 四合院 🪴

Is a historical type of courtyard residence that is commonly found across China. Designs differ in every region. For example, in the northwest where dust storms are strong, the walls tend to be higher. In the South the houses are built with multiple stories. In the northeast the weather is cold so courtyards are broad and large to increase the exposure to sunlight, and there are more open rooms inside the walls.

(1) (5) Casa de los Pilates from the 1500s. The islamic "mudejar" style is pervasive in this magnificent monument through its stucco work, carvings, architecture, proportions, and tiles. In addition, another palace with garden completely in the Italian renaissance style forms part of this complex. (2) (4) Real Alcázar. Patio dating from the islamic Almohad dynasty from the 12th century. (6) Palacio de Lebrija, another 16th century mudejar palace.

Love the Boho Moroccan feel of this entrance with an antique door and large planters flanking the entrance.
