LEBRIJA PALACE

Lebrija Palace is fast becoming one of Seville’s best palace houses to visit. Not only does it have some stunning mosaics, but its rooms also contain numerous archaeological remains of incalculable value: vases, amphorae, columns, vessels, and sculptures. The building is also bedecked with ornamental features like Arab-style arches, plateresque wall decorations, and a typically Andalusian facade and layout.

The Marquess of Lozoya, Director General of Fine Arts, described it as “the best paved palace in Europe”. Indeed, the 580 square metres of Roman mosaics covering the palace’s walls and floors make it the world’s most important private collection of its type.
