Highlights
  • Museo Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija - the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija. It is located on one of the busiest streets in the city of Seville, the so-called Cuna street. This palace is from the 16th century and is characterized by its precious collection of Roman mosaics, paraphernalia, columns, amphoras and sculptures of great artistic value. The place combines the Arabic style observable in its walls, the Plateresque decoration, the ceiling of the XVI century and a frieze of the Renaissance. Of course, it still presents the typical Andalusian style in its façade and design.

Lovely palaces - Nice morning tour. Guide picked us up at our hotel and we walked thru the Jewish quarter and learned the history on our way to the palace. Both were gorgeous and well worth visiting.
