Casa de Pilatos
Casa de Pilatos, or Pilate's House, is a lavish palace showing Seville's exuberant past, with an attractive mixture of the architectural styles that can be seen all over the city.
As time has gone by, the palace has undergone several transformations that have turned it into a lavish residential complex with a picturesque, harmonious appearance in which Renaissance, Mudejar, Medieval and Gothic styles come together with some beautiful Moorish touches.
Throughout its history, the palace has featured in various Hollywood productions, such as Kingdom of Heaven and Lawrence of Arabia in 1942.

In the gardens, you'll find a true oasis of tranquillity, where you'll be able to forget about the hustle and bustle of the city.
A Visit That Doesn't Disappoint
