Archbishop's Palace, Baroque archbishop residence in Santa Cruz district, Seville, Spain.

The Archbishop's Palace extends over 6,700 square meters near Seville Cathedral, with a red facade, white pilasters, iron awnings, and large ornamental balconies.

King Ferdinand III of Castile granted houses to Bishop Remondo in 1251, initiating the foundation of what would become the current Archbishop's Palace.

The palace contains an extensive collection of paintings by Spanish masters including Zurbarán, Murillo, and Francisco Pacheco, along with Italian and Dutch baroque works.

The building functions as the residence of Seville's Archbishop and holds ecclesiastical documents dating back to the 14th century in its administrative offices.

During the Peninsular War, French Marshal Jean de Dieu Soult transformed sections of the religious palace into entertainment spaces for dancing and celebrations.
