  This was one of the more informative condensed times spent here. There is so much going on Wednesday nights. There is free admission and there are tours one can take for different parts of the facility. If you are here for a few days this is a must.

  The lonely planet guide describes this as a harmonious mixture of styles, but it's a dog's dinner of a mansion, built by a marques of who had money but no style. The ground floor is derelict , upstairs there are rooms decorated with heavy dark furniture & 16th century paintings which make you yearn for the Impressionists. Give this a miss!

  My first thought was that the admission was a bit expensive. It costs 5 euros to go in, and 8 euros for admission to both the grounds and the top floors (winter rooms). But it was definitely worth the price, as it included an audio guide and live tour of the upper floors. A warning though, the audio guide will be almost completely incomprehensible if you are not already very knowledgeable about art history, or neither English or Spanish are your first language. The palace has very beautiful art and architectural elements from many different time periods, and each audio guide "chapter" lasted longer than five minutes and used many inaccessible art history vocabulary words. Honestly, I stopped using it even though I have some art history knowledge and preferred to walk around and read descriptions myself.

  We arrived having read in several sources that EU guests receive free entry from 13:00-17:00 every Tuesday. We then were told no that's not the case....... it was Wednesday. Wednesday we went and we were then told it was Tuesday. Nothing more to say really!

  Unless you knew it was there you would pass it by. It is an important part of the history of Seville. A little expensive for what is inside, but if you are interested in the history of Seville, then go inside. From the outside it is possible to get some reasonable photos

  Another site we almost missed and are so glad we did not. However if you see the Casa de Pilatos after having been to the Alcazar, you may feel like it is "just more of the same." Go here BEFORE. The tour guide of the upstairs rooms provides charming commentary; and all of the Roman bits does make it a different experience. Gorgeous, gorgeous!

  My wife and I just saw the Casa de Pilatos and the whole palace has now been restored. The last time we went they were just starting to restore the palace and gardens. It is very beautiful now.We paid for the tour of the apartments on the upper floor and enjoyed the tour. One can see the works of art, furniture and carpets that the Medinaceli Family has accumulated over the ages.

  It was an informative hour. We also had the tour of the upper rooms. Worth a visit if you stay many days in Seville! Very kind and pleasant guide tour! Admission free Wednesday evenings.

  The palace is interesting but not that much differences from palaces that are all over Spain. The house is still owned by the aristocratic family that lived in it for centuries and the audio guide glosses over little details such as much of the wealth that was used to build this palace was income from the Inquisition. It is not a coincidence that this house is right next to what was Seville's Jewish quarter.
