About this tour
Explore two landmark Andalusian palaces in Seville over two and a half hours with a private art historian guide. Begin at Casa de Pilato, a Renaissance-Mudéjar hybrid mansion famed for its ornate tilework and manicured courtyards—the blueprint for Andalusian palace design and protected as a National Monument since 1931. Then visit the Countess of Lebrija's 16th-century residence, which houses an exceptional collection of Roman antiquities including mosaics, statuary, and ceremonial vessels. Hotel pickup included.

- Casa de Pilato's Renaissance-Mudéjar architecture and azulejo detailing
- Serene courtyards and gardens at the prototype Andalusian palace
- Countess of Lebrija's Roman mosaic and sculpture assemblage
- Private guide with art-historical expertise throughout
- Both palaces recognised as significant cultural monuments
What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel or the Giralda tower base. The tour moves at a contemplative pace, allowing time to examine architectural details and the artefact collections without rushing. Expect to climb stairs and navigate period rooms; the sites are largely accessible but not entirely flat. The guide contextualises each palace within Seville's Renaissance period and the Roman heritage displayed. Two to two and a half hours covers both interiors thoroughly, with breathing room for questions.
Good to know
