The cost of tickets is available in two options: visiting only the 1st floor - the cost is 6 euros, and visiting with a guide (only Spanish) and the second floor - the cost is 8 euros. But excursions to the second floor start only from 11. You can first see the 1st floor, and then return to 11 and see the second.
The palace is still privately owned by the family of the Dukes of Medinaceli.
The construction of the palace began in 1492 by the family of Pedro Henriquez and his wife Catalina de Ribera. The Henriques family originated from the connection of the King of Castile and Leon Alphonse the Just with Leonora de Guzman. Leonora gave birth to 10 illegitimate children to the king, 7 of them were boys, who became the founders of surnames with high-profile titles and large possessions. Since the 15th century, only Henriques of the senior line have been allowed to bear the title of Admiral of Castile.
The Enriques are one of the five families between which the territory of Andalusia was divided until the 19th century. The Enriques family died out at the beginning of the 18th century and the palace was inherited by the Dukes of Medinaceli.
The construction of the palace was completed by the son of Pedro and Catalina - Fadrike, and he received his second name the House of Pilate after Fadrike's pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Thus, in Seville, they began to believe that the palace is a copy of the palace of Pontius Pilate.
Returning from a trip to Jerusalem through Italy, Fadrique was shocked by the new trends of the Renaissance, and upon returning to Seville, he begins to rebuild the palace, adding elements of the Renaissance to it. In Genoa, a marble portal with a family coat of arms was ordered for the facade of the house and a fountain in the center of the patio. The patio was remodeled in the Renaissance style, with columns and statues added. In fact, Fadrique brought the Renaissance to Seville.
And his palace later served as an example for the construction of palaces of the local nobility.
