The Casa de Pilatos is an example of a nobility residence in the Spanish Golden Age (fifteenth-seventeenth centuries) in Seville. Dated from the last quarter of the fifteenth century, it sprang from the union of the families Enriquez and Ribera. As a result of the relationship of the owners, marquises of Tarifa and dukes of Alcala, with Italy, the house was altered throughout the sixteenth century acting as a filter for the new Renaissance style that arrived and spread across Seville. The alterations in the Romantic style that took place in the mid-nineteenth century complete its picturesque appearance, a harmonious blend of gothic-“mudejar” (mudejar: muslims that stayed in Iberia after the Reconquest), Renaissance and Romanticism art. The top floor exhibits the collection of paintings and decorative arts from the Medinacelis.
