To take a peek into the aristocratic past of Seville my proposal would be to visit two of the most beautiful palaces of the city: the Casa de Pilatos and the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija.

The Casa de Pilatos is considered the prototype of the Andalusian palace. Its walls are covered with magnificent "azulejos" or tiles and a valuable collection of classical

sculptures enriches its halls and gardens.

The Palace of the Countess of Lebrija, which is considered the best paved

mansion in Europe, exhibits magnificent Roman mosaics from Italica, which were

recovered and restored by the Countess in the early XX century.
