Private Tour Casa Pilatos
Private visit to Casa Pilatos, a 15th century noble palace
Casa Pilatos is a hidden gem that the city offers. This late 15th century noble palace is essential to understand the “Seville of the Golden Century”, which was known as the “New Rome”. Through this palace and its occupants, came the renaissance and the humanist philosophy to Seville. This blends perfectly with the Mudejar architecture and ceramics that are still preserved in this typical Sevillian noble residence.

Description
One of the locations which was undoubtedly the cradle of the Renaissance in Seville, Casa Pilatos also named, the “Palace of the Major Adelantados of Andalusia”.
This noble residence from the end of the 15th century was built under the orders of Catalina de Rivera, a noblewoman very close to the Catholic Monarchs. It was not until the 16th century that this palace reached its greatest splendour. One of its most important tenants was Fadrique Enríquez de Rivera, who brought the Italian Renaissance spirit to Seville, which blends the Mudejar and Gothic architecture of the palace perfectly.
On our visit we will learn about the reason for the strange name of the palace and the importance of this place in the famous Holy Week of Seville. We will also explore the life of luxury and eccentricities of the nobles who lived there. Casa Pilatos has a great collection of sculptures and marbles brought from Italy, beautiful gardens and a great collection of ceramics.
A perfect location to discover the change of an era, we move from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age. A time of great change that will bring with it the Renaissance and the splendour of Humanism that left a great mark on the society of the time.
