Palacio de las Dueñas & Casa de Pilatos: Guided Tour

About this experience

The Palacio de las Dueñas and Casa de Pilatos guided tour is a two-hour walking tour of two of Seville's most significant historic palaces, led by an expert guide. The Palacio de las Dueñas served as a residence of the House of Alba and blends Gothic, Mudéjar, and Renaissance architecture across its courtyards, gardens, and decorated rooms. Casa de Pilatos, one of the finest examples of Andalusian Renaissance architecture in Spain, follows shortly after on foot, with its elaborate ceramic tilework, classical sculptures, and grand patios forming the centrepiece of the visit. Both palaces sit within the historic centre, making this a compact and well-structured introduction to Seville's aristocratic heritage. The guide leads visitors through the interiors and outdoor spaces of both properties, explaining the architectural layers and historical context at each stop. At the Palacio de las Dueñas, the tour covers the colonnaded courtyard and ornamental gardens alongside the principal rooms. At Casa de Pilatos, highlights include the main atrium, the tiled halls, and the collection of Roman and Renaissance sculptures. The tour begins at 1 Plaza de Pilatos. Tickets cover entry to both palaces and the guided tour throughout; transportation to the starting point is not included. Free cancellation applies up to the booked timeslot, and note that the tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
