I took this photo during a private visit of El Alcazar in Sevilla, by night. That's why there are no one in the photo. Amazing ambiance

This is amazing. It looks like an oil painting

There were only few lights in the cave, and due to the water, the ambiance and the light were unbelievable. I remember I asked the group I was with to let me alone at the end, to shoot this. Even the silence was impressive.

Nice, I took this in 2017.

I believe this was a GoT filming location as well

[–] Karl@jlai.lu 3 points 1 week ago

Can I ask what an aboveground cave looks like? Or what an underground cave looks like during the day?

Cool photo.

I made a quick research, actually this place is called Baths of Doña María de Padilla (Baños de Doña María de Padilla). They are actually former rainwater collection cisterns located beneath the Patio del Crucero.

I may change the name of my post now 🙃

How does one arrange such a private nighttime visit, and what are the costs involved?

[–] Karl@jlai.lu 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just had a look at it on their website. We were almost 30 people. For two guides it seems to be 360€. 12€/person. It's cheap for such an experience.

Amazing, thanks for looking it up.

That's not too bad indeed.
