The Palacio de Las Dueñas, the current residence of the Casa de Alba in Seville, was built in the 15th century, and is historically one of the most important monuments in the city.
The building itself, which includes Gothic-Mudejar and Renaissance styles, has impressive architectural interest, such as its various gardens and patios with a magical charm.
In addition to a wonderful collection of paintings, sculptures, tapestries and furniture, it also treasures many family memories, as it is still inhabited, making this Palace a unique and different place to visit.
Among the most important characters that visit it are: Americo Vespuccio, Marconi, Lord Holland, Cole Porter, Arthur Rubinstein, the Empress Eugenia de Montijo, the kings Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia, Jackie Kennedy, the princes of Monaco, among many others. Birthplace of the poet Antonio Machado.
Includes audio guide or App in Spanish, English, French, German and Italian.

Built in the late 15th century by the Pineda family who in 1496 had to sell the house to raise random money. The palace has remained in the same lineage since the sale with the upper level still occupied today.
I had the please of doing a guided night tour at 21h for €16 with Alejando. (Note all night tours are in Spanish)
He was extremely informative about the history/stables/architecture/gypsy ballroom etc
A focal point in the palace is the phenomenal tapestry from 1570 depicting the scene Mercury falls in love with Herse woven in wool/silk/silver/gold.
The family enjoy painting, literature, dancing & collecting posters of bullfighting ferias for Semana Santa dating back to the 1890s.
I had visualised a night time tour would be dark & the grounds all lit up etc, however this is not the case nevertheless it was a good value 80 minute tour.

Situato nel pittoresco quartiere di Santa Cruz, il Palazzo di Las Dueñas è uno dei tesori più affascinanti di Siviglia. Questa storica residenza nobiliare, costruita nel XV secolo, è stata la dimora della famiglia Duca d'Alba per secoli e ha aperto le sue porte al pubblico solo di recente, offrendo una finestra unica sulla nobiltà spagnola e sulla storia culturale della città.
Il palazzo colpisce per la sua straordinaria architettura che fonde elementi gotici, rinascimentali e mudéjar. Camminando attraverso i suoi ampi cortili, giardini lussureggianti e sale adornate, si può ammirare una vasta collezione di opere d'arte, tra cui dipinti, sculture, tappezzerie e mobili antichi, che narrano storie di opulenza e tradizione.
Il cortile principale, con il suo classico design andaluso, è circondato da colonnati e archi che incorniciano splendidamente il giardino centrale. I giardini sono particolarmente impressionanti, con una varietà di piante, fiori colorati e fontane che creano un'atmosfera tranquilla e rilassante.
Ogni stanza del palazzo ha una sua storia unica, spesso legata a figure storiche e culturali importanti, come il poeta Antonio Machado, che nacque qui nel 1875.
Tutt'ora abitato dal duca d'Alba.
il Palacio de las Dueñas è aperto tutti i giorni dalle 10 alle 20 (da aprile a settembre) e dalle 10 alle 18 (ottobre-marzo). Il prezzo del biglietto incluso di audio guida è di 12 euro. Noi ce l'avevamo compreso con il pass Siviglia acquistato online

Being totally honest we enjoyed our visit here much more than the Alcazar. Its quieter, much more relaxed and although smaller its much more impressive because of that.
Take your time and enjoy the beauty of this place

Amazing palace/home of the Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart.
The palace itself is occupied by her son. A section has been opened. Beautiful paintings, richly decorated ceilings and wooden doors.

Very beautiful stately building that deserves to be visited. Gorgeous, well-kept gardens with many different types of plants and flowers.
Also interesting is the visit to the internal rooms of the palace where the passions and taste of the Duchess of Alba can be perceived.
The rooms with the Avril party posters are very beautiful. Well done audio guide.
Recommended visit!
