Pilate's House in private
Celebrate your event in the centre of Seville
Located in the heart of the historic centre of Seville, on the border of the medieval Jewish quarter and just a ten-minute walk from the Alcázar-Cathedral, the Casa de Pilatos, the largest and most sumptuous private residential complex in the city, is a privileged place, unique in Seville, for the celebration of small and large private events. The palace also offers the possibility of organising private visits, once the doors are closed to the public, to get to know it exclusively in small groups accompanied by an art historian.
To learn more about the palace as a whole, we recommend you visit the Visual Notes section.
