Casa de Pilatos Palace, Seville

Located in the heart of the historic center of Seville, Casa de Pilatos is a private residential complex in the city where private events can be held.

The construction of the palace began in 1483 at the initiative of Pedro Enríquez de Quiñones and his wife Catalina de Ribera, founders of the House of Alcalá. The building was erected on land confiscated by the Inquisition. After Pedro’s death, his wife completed the work and later his son Fadrique Enriquez de Rivera and his grandson, Per Afan de Ribera y Portocarrero, enlarged and decorated the palace.

Throughout the 16th century, the House of Pilate underwent profound transformations due to the close relationship that its most prominent members maintained with Italy. It became a meeting point where the new forms and tastes of the Renaissance penetrated Seville. In the 19th century, Romanesque-style alterations were carried out to complete its picturesque appearance, a harmonious synthesis of Gothic-Mudejar, Renaissance and Romanesque styles.

In the rooms of the palace you can admire works of art such as the frescoes of the apotheosis of Hercules by Francisco Pacheco, as well as a series of bullfighting paintings by Francisco de Goya.
