13. - Alcazar and Alameda Vieja. Near the most beautiful corner of Jerez.

The "Alcazar" (Arab name for palace/castle), is the oldest monument of Jerez, (XII century). There are a mosque with its minaret , Arab baths, a baroque palace (XVIII century),  with a charming ancient drugstore on its second floor, an oil mill and  beautiful gardens. Sometimes, the palace is occupied with temporary exhibitions.

Surrounding the "Alcazar" there is a very nice walk called "Alameda Vieja", (Old walk of the poplar trees), with magnificent views over the Cathedral and the old Jerez. A very recommendable visit.
