History of Seville in this exclusive 17th-century Palace House

This Palatial House is a stately 17th-century residence in the heart of Seville’s Judería, an exclusive and unique property ideal for distinguished investors. With a built area of 1,725 m² and 600 m² of terraces, it spans four floors around three courtyards with a pool. From its rooftop terrace, you can enjoy breathtaking 360º views of Seville, with the Giralda seemingly within reach. The property boasts a 65-meter façade, enhancing its independence and natural light. An exemplary model of the luxurious residences of Seville’s Golden Age, this property is highly valued in the real estate market for its historical legacy, where Renaissance, Mudejar, Baroque, Romantic, and Historicist styles of Seville come together in an exceptional residence. Through the impressive original iron grille in the entrance hall, adorned with Arab mosaic tilework and supported by white Carrara marble Genoese columns with smooth shafts and lotus flower capitals, we enter the main courtyard, which is centered around a fountain bringing freshness to an urban garden filled with plants and palms. This porticoed courtyard is encircled by an open gallery upheld by Carrara marble Genoese columns and vaulted ceilings adorned with shields carved with Baroque motifs. This exclusive residence features over ten reception rooms and recreational spaces, 14 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a wine cellar-salon, a chapel, 3 garden courtyards with a pool, an impressive terrace with stunning views, parking for at least two vehicles, and multiple storage and equipment rooms. This home offers everything one could desire, along with a convenient elevator connecting its floors. The rooms are arranged around three courtyards: the first courtyard features the soothing sound of its fountain, the second, a vibrant garden with towering pink and purple bougainvillea, blue jasmine, a pool, and a terrace with sun loungers perfect for relaxation. The third, smaller courtyard on the first floor completes the ensemble. Natural light flows in through the courtyards and across the 65-meter façade, ensuring bright and peaceful spaces. From the main courtyard, a majestic marble staircase with tile baseboards and panels by the esteemed 19th-century ceramicist Manuel Arellano y Campos leads to the upper floors. Notable are the stained glass with the Count’s crown, and antique glasswork that adorns the doors to each room. Ceilings soar to nearly 5 meters, and beautiful hydraulic floors enhance the spaces. At the end of the 20th century, a significant expansion added the last two floors. In 2014, the current owners carried out an ambitious restoration project to preserve the heritage while improving the structure and insulation for energy efficiency. The impressive gallery of the main courtyard was replaced with an identical one made of iroko wood, a tropical hardwood known for its durability in extreme climates. Solar panels and modern mechanized awnings were also added to the courtyards. On the fourth floor (attic), you’ll find an enormous terrace and lookout with spectacular panoramic views of Seville, where the iconic Giralda feels almost within reach. This remarkable property offers diverse possibilities depending on its use, whether private or tourist, with potential to create more than 20 rooms without needing extensions.
