House of Pilate

la Casa de Pilatos, Casa de Pilatos, Pilate's House in Seville, Casa de los Pilatos
Spain, Seville
As a Seville palace of the 16th century, Pilate's House organically combines the influences of Gothic, Italian Renaissance and Mudéjar style. The house got its name from Fadrika Henriquez, the first Marquis of Tarifa. Being a devout man, he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and returned to find that his palace was exactly as far from the place of pilgrimage in Seville - the chapel of Cruz del Campo, as the house of Pontius Pilate from Golgotha ​​in Jerusalem.
The decoration of Pilate's House is an amazing shady garden. Guests will be able to appreciate the architecture and interior of the building with its tapestries, murals and frescoes, valuable antique furniture, a huge collection of paintings, including works by Luca Giordano and images of bullfighting scenes by Francisco Goya. Particularly beautiful is the courtyard, surrounded by graceful arcades, in its center there is a charming fountain with dolphins and a two-faced Janus, and in the corners there are Roman statues of the goddesses Minerva, Ceres, Muse and Athena.

Official website of the palace http://www. fundacionmedinaceli. org/monumentos/pilatos/ The cost of tickets is available in two options: visiting only the 1st floor - the cost is 6 euros, and visiting with a guide (only Spanish) and the second floor - the cost is 8 euros. But excursions to the second floor start only from 11. You can first see the 1st floor, and then return to 11 and see the second. The palace is still privately owned by the family of the Dukes of Medinaceli. The construction of the palace began in 1492 by the family of Pedro Henriquez and his wife Catalina de Ribera.
