Costurero de la Reina

Turreted neo-Mudejar pavilion built as a riverside garden guardhouse, striped in ochre brick.
This guide to the Costurero de la Reina in Seville sets the record straight on a beloved legend, that a future queen once sat sewing here waiting for her royal lover. It traces the real story back to 1893, when the Duchess of Montpensier commissioned this turreted riverside pavilion in the city's first neo-Mudejar style, designed by architect Juan Talavera y de la Vega. The men who actually staffed the little castle patrolled the duchess's grounds after dark along the Guadalquivir.
