Palace of the Countess of Lebrija

I was amazed by Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija—the ground floor alone is covered in exquisite Roman mosaics and azulejos. It feels like walking through a passionate collector’s private mansion, packed with antiques and artifacts. Smaller scale means I could appreciate every detail without rushing. The upper floors (summer residence) add elegant living rooms with beautiful furniture. Perfect for anyone obsessed with tiles and archaeology like me. A unique and intimate palace experience.

The Palace of the Countess of Lebrija is a stunning Moorish residence. Entry to the first floor is free, but I highly recommend visiting the second floor as well. The upstairs rooms are beautifully preserved and give fascinating insights into the life of the Countess. The true highlight of the palace is its Roman art collection, especially the impressive mosaic floors. A visit here is absolutely worth it!

Beautiful palace, well worth visiting! Self tour on the ground floor. Guided on the first floor in Spanish or English. Beautiful mosaic floors from the local Roman city of Italica.

It’s great if you like Roman mosaics, artifacts and beautiful tile. The contessa was a collector and she bought the 16th century palace in 1901 and spent the next 13 years adding mosaic floors from Italica, tiles from a 16th century convent and collections of all sorts. It is an amazing place, still in the family but primarily a museum.

A little off the beaten path in old Seville, but a gem of an example of the Moorish influence in architecture and decor in the palaces of wealthy Sevillanos. I'm not sure how I feel about the Countess from a preservation point of view, but as guardian of archaeology in the late 1800s she brought many Roman floors and statuary from Italics and had them installed in this home. An incredible opportunity to see and even stand on such ancient artistry.

This is an amazing place to visit. Make sure you book a tour for the upper rooms. The Countess was a lady ahead of times with things like sunglasses in her collection. A remarkable woman in the male dominated world of archaeology. The mosaics are superb. The upper rooms fascinated me. Lovely staff. A great young lady gave a very informative talk in English. Great place to visit in Seville.

Free 10am on Friday. Line up early..I was 6th in line at 9.25am! A nice palace dedicated to an interesting lady.

This is a beautiful palace to visit. It belonged to the Countess of Lebrija. There's a guided visit to the first floor which you learn a lot from the person that used to live there. I highly recommend visiting this Palace

A quiet palace on very busy Calle Cuna, Palacio de la Condea de Lebrija, the former home of Regla Manjón Mergelina, feels a lot like Casa de Pilatos. What's different here, though, is the abundance of stunning mosaics (don't miss the octagonal mosaic!), and the endless display cases of Muslim pottery. I particularly enjoyed the top floor (like the Casa de Pilatos, one has to take a "guided tour" of the top floor - by guided tour, I mostly mean that a tour guide will briefly show you around the upstairs) where one can see the amazing dining room, the Countess' private chapel, the library (with 6,000 books), and portraits of the Countess and her family. The one thing to hold in mind is that the tours are on a schedule, and there's a fairly big gap in tours in the afternoon. We arrived at 3pm, and the next tour was scheduled for 4:30. We paid the extra 2E per person for the tour (the bottom floor is 6E, the full house is 8E) not quite realizing how small the bottom floor is - after about 30 minutes, we had enjoyed the bottom floor. Luckily, the guard said we could leave and come back five minutes before the tour.
