Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija, Renaissance palace in Old Town, Seville, Spain.
Description
Palacio de la Lebrija is a Renaissance palace with two stories in Seville's Old Town. Its rooms display elaborately decorated ceramic work, sculptures, and art objects from various periods, arranged around open courtyards with ornate ceilings and tiled floors.
History
The building dates to the early 1600s but was transformed in 1901 when the Countess of Lebrija purchased it and filled it with her personal art collection. That collection formed the foundation of what visitors see today.
Culture
This palace reflects a collector's passion that crossed borders and centuries. You will see Moorish ceramics displayed alongside Roman mosaics, a mix of worlds brought together under one roof.
Practical
Plan for a slow visit, as rooms are packed with detail and floor space is limited. Access begins at ground level, and wear comfortable shoes since you will spend time walking through multiple levels and narrow passages.
Did you know?
On the second floor sits a dining room where the table has remained permanently set for dinner for decades. This frozen moment captures the life of the Countess era in a single room.
