Palacio de Lebrija

A 19th-century palace in central Seville famed for its floors — laid with genuine Roman mosaics that an aristocratic countess salvaged from Itálica and other sites and brought home. The ground floor is effectively a private archaeological museum, combined with Mudéjar patios, a grand staircase, and an eclectic collection of antiques amassed over a lifetime. For visitors, it's an unusual and intimate sight: a still-furnished noble house where you walk across ancient Roman mosaics, surrounded by the personal collection of a passionate, idiosyncratic collector, in a quietly grand corner of the city center.
