Casa de Pilatos

The House of Pilate (whose name has several theories) is located in the historic centre of Seville, in the Jewish quarter.

It is the prototype of a typical Andalusian palace, built in the sixteenth century that now belongs to the Dukes of Medinaceli Foundation. It was connected with the Church of San Esteban through walkways, so that the Dukes could hear mass. Unfortunately, we were late (by fifteen minutes!) And could not visit inside, but from what I've heard, is one of the must-sees in the city. We settled for seeing the facade as well as the courtyard that we glimpsed through the railings of the front side (Renaissance, with Mudejar decor).

A Gorgeous palace that is worth seeing, walking around every corner as well as the beautiful gardens. The colourful gardens and their small ponds are perfect for meditation.

From a beautiful and secluded main courtyard we have access to everything (that’s accessible) in the monumental palace.

Worth mentioning about this palace which, apart from its beauty, has had filmed within it walls many Hollywood blockbusters such as "Lawrence of Arabia" (winner of 7 Oscars, including Best Picture), "1492: Conquest of paradise," "The kingdom of heaven “and "Knight and Day.”
