Mariano Bellver Collection

The Mariano Bellver Collection is a museum housing over 500 artistic works including paintings, carvings, ceramics, and furniture spread across 13 exhibition rooms. The pieces are displayed within a traditional palace interior decorated with characteristic elements such as colorful ceramic tiles and carved wooden ceilings.

The collection developed from the lifelong work of a collector whose family had a long tradition of artists working for important local institutions. The holdings were donated to the city in 2018 and have since formed a public collection for visitors.

The collection features works by local artists such as Manuel García y Rodríguez that depict the life and customs of Andalusia. These paintings offer insight into how 19th-century artists rooted in this region saw and represented their world.

The museum is located in Seville's historic center and housed within a traditional palace spread across two floors. Visitors should be aware that the rooms feature multiple staircases, which affects how you navigate through the various exhibition areas.

The collector spent more than 60 years assembling works before deciding to give everything to the public. This generous gesture made it possible to preserve an extensive collection that might otherwise have been scattered.
