There are pomegranates everywhere in the Royal Alcázar in Seville: in pots, in the gardens, on tiles and on tapestries.

In the Vault room the FROG robot stops for a short interactive quiz with the visitors. The answer to one of the questions should actually be ‘pomegranates’ …

Today, Javier told us that the pommegranate is the heraldic device for Granada. This device is seen in two parties of the shield on the tile above.

This close-up of the photo at the top shows a tiny pommegranate in the same stage – bursting open to reveal its seeds.

 

And here you can see the same thing on another tile picture.

 

Here the fruits look perfect.

 

The fruit seen below is on a larger plant in the gardens.

This might just be one as well – it is on a tile set into a path in the gardens.

By the way, we didn’t change the answer to the quiz question – so, I’m afraid this post won’t help you get it right.
