Casa de Pilatos

In our visit of approximately one hour you will have the opportunity to see the ground floor and gardens of this marvellous work, an example of Sevillian architecture.

The Casa de Pilatos, located in the heart of Seville, is an impressive palace that combines elements of the Italian Renaissance style with the Mudejar art typical of Andalusia. This building is one of the most remarkable examples of Sevillian civil architecture and was built in the 15th century by the Enríquez de Ribera family, one of the most influential noble families of the time.

The main courtyard is the heart of the Casa de Pilatos, surrounded by semicircular arches supported by marble columns and decorated with an exquisite collection of Sevillian tiles. This courtyard reflects the fusion of styles, with details evoking both the Christian and Islamic heritage of the region.

The house has a private chapel, decorated with rich altarpieces and religious sculptures, which adds a touch of spirituality to the ensemble. The coffered ceilings, carved wooden doors and latticed windows highlight the craftsmanship of the period.

The Casa de Pilatos is also known for its art collections, which include Roman and Greek sculptures, Renaissance paintings and a library with valuable manuscripts. The palace’s name comes from the legend that suggests that its route, with fourteen stations, replicates that of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. This, together with its architecture and decoration, makes the Casa de Pilatos a fascinating place that encapsulates Seville’s rich cultural history.
