Casa de Pilatos

It was begun in the late 15th century by Pedro Enríquez, and his son, the Marquis of Tarifa, enlarged it after a trip to Jerusalem in 1519. Hence the legend that it copies the house of Pontius Pilate, and Seville's first Way of the Cross started here. It still belongs to the ducal house of Medinaceli.

The main courtyard mixes Mudéjar arches, Gothic balustrades and Roman statues, and its 16th-century tiled dados are among the finest in the city. The gardens, with bougainvillea and fountains, are a quiet refuge in the middle of town.
