I visited the first floor only as it was free on fridays (no reservations). I arrived about 15 min early and there were already about 20 people in line to get in. The ground floor is a museum that contains many Roman mosaics from nearby Italica as well as various objects objects and statues from antiquity. There are also many beautiful tiles or azulejos decorating the walls and even the ceilings in some rooms. There are placards with explanations in spanish and english. The second floor contains the countess' private apartments which I did not visit. According to the lady at the reception, this includes a library as well as many other rooms. Thanks to the Countess of Lebrija and her descendants for the collecting, preserving and restoring of all these historical artifacts so that we may enjoy and learn from them.

I stumbled across the palace by chance on my second visit to Sevilla, and I am so glad that I did. The countess died in 1932 and was an avid collector of furniture and bits and pieces. But she also remodeled the palace to save some (I think 1-2BC) mosaics from the Roman ruins when they were uncovered at nearby Italica. Your €12 gets you a guided tour of the upstairs where you are not allowed to roam freely, and it is well worth it. Beautiful and the countess was a fascinating, 'modern' woman!

The palace is not in my plan, we just walked pass by in front of the front and it looked so beautiful so we decided to walk in and it’s totally worth it. The whole palace is gorgeous and well preserved. The object collections were impressive. The Countess were a very cultured lady of her time. I was with a guided tour in Spanish and Maria is a very charming guide. I really recommend if you have an hour to stop by the palace, please do.

Such a stunning palace with exquisite mosaic work! We explored the first floor on our own, and the second floor was guided (no pictures allowed since it's a private collection). The tour guide was fantastic. Don't miss this Sevilla gem!

This is a hidden gem. If you ever wonder what someone with too much money does with their money. They collect stuff. It is like a mini Louvre. It has amazing mosaic floors. Very recommended for a visit.
