This work examines the relationship between two examples of garden pavilion, which, despite having been constructed at very different times and places, are extraordinarily alike: a building dating to the first years of the eighth century AD (the remains of which were found close to Rusafa -- the old Byzantine city of Sergiopolis in Syria -- and excavated by German archaeologists in 1990), and the pavilion in the garden of the Alcazar of Seville (Spain), traditionally known as the Supper Room or Pavilion of Charles V.
