Palace of the Countess of Lebrija
Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija
Known as Europe's most beautifully paved house, its courtyard is covered in ancient Roman mosaics from Itálica, giving it the atmosphere of a private collection.
The palace was originally a 16th-century residence. In the early 20th century, the Countess of Lebrija, Regla de Manzanos, converted it into a collection house. She set large quantities of Roman mosaics unearthed at Itálica into the floors of the courtyard and rooms, combined with Mudéjar stucco and tiles. The ground floor displays the mosaics and archaeological collections, while the upper floor contains the aristocratic family's living quarters. Tickets are sold for the ground floor alone or the full palace, at about €6 and €12. It is located on the pedestrian Calle Cuna, very close to the Metropol Parasol.
