Pilate's House
Seville
The Palace of the Adelantados Mayores de Andalucía, better known as Casa de Pilatos, was essentially built between the 15th and 16th centuries. Declared National Monument since 1931This palace, a prototype of Seville's civil architecture, is a delicate synthesis of the Gothic-Mudejar tradition of the late Middle Ages and of the innovations of the Renaissance. The introduction of new artistic forms and tastes in the Seville of the Golden Age owes much to the process of construction and ornamentation of this palace and its role in the intellectual life of the city. This was made possible by the privileged relationship that, with ItalyIts promoters, the Enríquez de Ribera family, from the 1st Marquis of Tarifa to the 3rd Duke Alcalá, maintained it. In the 19th century, following the conversion of the city into a second court under the Montpensier family, it underwent some reforms in the Romantic style which completed its picturesque appearance.
