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.

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

Beautiful palace to visit in Sevilla, the audioguide is very helpful. This is another attraction worth walking out to see, with less crowds.

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!

A beautiful house with a lively and well-kept garden, full of memories and ancient objects of the owner family. After monuments and characteristic corners, it was what I was missing in my visit to this beautiful city.

We visited the Setas and saw this palace off in the distance and went there on a whim. I’m so glad we did! The gardens are beautiful and the inside is crammed with interesting art and relics. What a dream it must be to live as a duke in Spain! I don’t think I’d ever leave the grounds…
Definitely worth the entry price. Not to mention, the crowds were very small and not a single tour group that we had to try and get around.
I really want to figure out how to create one of those beautiful Spanish tile fountains on my own patio now…

Perhaps the best thing about our trip to Seville.
The charm of a noble residence with so much history and the magnificence of its gardens.
It was worth the trip
