THE PATIO IN THE HOUSE OF THE DUKE OF ALBA, SEVILLE, SPAIN 

 A fitting companion of the beautiful Alcazar, Seville's rival of Granada's splendid Alhambra in 

 beauty and in historical renown, is the magnificent palace of the Dukes of Alba. Dating from 

 the fifteenth century, this palace, in its architecture, combines the soft lines of Moorish ideals and 

 the sharp ones of Gothic conceptions, and is a fine example of the blending of the two.
