Palace of the Countess of Lebrija

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!

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.

This house is really beautiful and has many interesting artifacts. I found the ground floor more interesting than our guided tour upstairs, but part of that was because of some really rude and distracting other tourists in our group unfortunately. The bottom level is self guided, and has many books and crannies to explore. No photos were allowed upstairs.

An absolutely stunning palace-museum, showcasing Roman mosaics and elegant Moorish architectural elements. The collection of artifacts from different parts of the world is both rich and fascinating. The guided tour was exceptionally well done, making the visit even more rewarding. Truly a hidden gem in Seville.

Visiting the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija was one of the most fascinating parts of our trip to Seville, and our tour guide, Lucia, truly brought the experience to life. Lucia was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, which made the entire tour engaging from start to finish. She had a wonderful way of weaving together the history of the palace, the remarkable life of the Countess, and the incredible collection of Roman mosaics and artifacts. Her storytelling made every room feel alive with history and personality. The palace itself is absolutely stunning — a hidden gem filled with artistic treasures, beautiful tiles, and an extraordinary blend of Roman, Moorish, and Renaissance influences. But what made it unforgettable was the depth of insight Lucia provided. You could tell she genuinely loves sharing this cultural treasure with visitors. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates history, art, or simply wants to experience something truly unique in Seville. Don’t miss the guided tour — and if you’re lucky enough to have Lucia as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!

A veritable rare mineral (gem). Beautiful house to visit. Not too busy. Excellent guide, included in the price. Lovely way to spend an hour.

Beautiful palace. There's a guided tour of the second floor, which if the timing aligns, is very well worth it (not only to see the second floor. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject matter as well, which is always really lovely to experience). No pictures allowed for the second floor but you get to see an extremely interesting collection of objects. The countess not only collected objects from Europe (you see French, English, Portuguese objects; alongside stuff from Spain); but there was a Chinese and a Moroccan room too!

We just enjoyed a wonderful visit to this beautiful cultural site and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The architecture is exquisite and the private art collection is immensely extensive, displaying artifacts from all across the world. I would highly recommend booking a guided tour of the second floor, which house the majority of the unique collection. Our tour was led by the lovely intern Valerie who did a splendid job making it both educational and interesting. Very grateful for the wonderful experience!
