My first stop today was the Casa de Pilatos. An example of mudéjar architecture, i.e. a style that is influenced by Islamic architecture, that came about during Christian rule.
Originally built by the Marquis of Tarifa in the 1520s, it is now owned by the Medinaceli family.
Having a garden in those days was a prestigious thing. This casa had a beautiful garden. Look at the bougainvillea in full bloom!
A copy of Ribera's "The Bearded Woman".
My next stop was the Royal Alcazares, another good example of mudéjar architecture in Seville.
Also with a huge lovely garden.
