Monuments

Casa de Pilatos

Per Afán de Ribera, viceroy of Naples, left most of the archaeological remains to be found in the palace today.

La Casa de Pilatos is the finest example of 16th century palatial architecture in Seville. Its construction was started by the Governor of Andalusia Pedro Enríquez and his wife Catalina de Ribera. His son, Fadrique Enríquez de Ribera, continued enlarging the palace until his death in 1539. Works were completed by his successor, Per Afán de Ribera, viceroy of Naples, who left most of the archaeological remains to be found in the palace today. The name - Pilate's House - alludes to a journey to Jerusalem that Fadrique made in 1519. Upon his return, he established the first station of the Via Crucis - which represents the trial of Jesus in Pilate's house - from the palace.

Structured around courtyards and gardens, the Casa de Pilatos is made up of various buildings which combine a number of artistic styles. The splendid central courtyard has arches with irregular designs which are lavishly decorated with Mudejar-style plasterwork. In the corners stand two statues of Pallas Athenas, which were copies of Greek originals. The palace boasts magnificent coffered ceilings, plasterworks and tiles. It also houses a valuable collection of paintings and sculptures which illustrate Seville's past splendour.
