What reading level is Royal Palaces of Spain a Historical Descriptive Account of the Seven Principa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Passing through the colonnaded Apeadero, built by Philip III. In 1607, and once used as an armoury, we reach the Patio del Leon, where tournaments used to be held, and stand in front of the Palace of the Alcazar. The facade is gorgeous yet elegant, of a gaudiness that in this brilliant city of golden sunshine and white walls is not obtrusive. Yet, despite the Moorish char- acter of the decoration, the Arabic capitals and pilasters, and the square entrance ' in the Persian style, ' the front is ...not that of an eastern palace ; and it is without surprise that we read over the portal, in quaint Gothic characters, the legend : ' The most high, the most noble, the most power- ful, and the most victorious Don Pedro, com- manded these Palaces, these Alcazares, and these entrances to be made in the year (of Caesar) 1402 ' (1364). Elsewhere on the faade are the oft- repeated Cufic inscriptions : ' There is no con- EL ALCAZAR 81 queror but Allah, ' ' Glory to our lord the Sultan ' (Don Pedro), ' Eternal glory to Allah, ' etc.
