Palacio de Lebrija

The sixteenth-century Renaissance palace, which besides being declared a historical monument of Spanish heritage is considered the "palace best floored in Europe ". This is because within it there are a number of mosaics and other archaeological finds that were found by chance in an olive farm close by (belonging to the Italica Roman ruins) and moved here when the Countess of Lebrija (owner of the palace) decided to reform it early in the twentieth century.
The palace consists of 2,000 square feet on two floors, which can be visited independently. On the ground floor are these mosaics, as well as tinajas (large earthenware jars) and other Roman, Greek and Arab remains , living rooms decorated with beautiful sixteenth and seventeenth century azulejos, and so on. On the upper floor one can visit the Countess’ chambers (the various rooms, the oratory, library, dining room ...) decorated with authentic works of art (tapestries, paintings, sculptures ...).
