90-Minute Guided Tour of Casa de Pilatos — Admission Included

What the 90 Minutes Covers

1. Meeting at Plaza de PilatosYour guide meets you outside the main entrance. The tour starts punctually — arrive five minutes early. The guide collects tickets for the group, so you don't queue at the desk.
2. The Apeadero and the Renaissance gateFirst stop is the carriage hall, then the marble entrance gate (Puerta de Mármol) — a piece of Italian Renaissance architecture that would look at home in Rome. Your guide explains how a Sevillian nobleman brought Italian craftsmen here in the 1520s and what they were commissioned to do.
3. The Patio Principal — 24 Roman emperorsThe courtyard. Your guide names the specific Roman busts and where they came from, explains the tile programmes, and covers the history of the Marquis of Tarifa who assembled the collection. This typically takes 20–25 minutes and is the heart of the tour.
4. The ground-floor state roomsThe guide takes you through the Praetor's Hall, the Hall of Flags, and the bedroom of Don Fadrique. The chapels, the Flemish tapestries, and the heraldic tilework each get their own explanation.
5. The Gardens — including the Game of Thrones siteThe tour ends in the garden, which is where the guide typically covers the film location history. The specific fountain and surrounding hedging from Game of Thrones Season 5 is pointed out. The garden is often the final fifteen minutes and doubles as the debrief.
