History of Palacio de las Due\u00f1as <\/h2>\n

Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, the palace came to be in what is often termed as Seville’s golden era. Named after the now non-existent monastery of Santa Mar\u00eda de las Due\u00f1as, which existed in the neighbouring plot, and was demolished in 1868.<\/p>\n

Since 1612, the palace belonged to Casa de Alba. In the 19th century, Due\u00f1as was converted into a guesthouse, by covering its rooms and halls with walls, and the coffered ceiling. <\/p>\n

In the 20th century, the palace turned guesthouse became a meeting point for members of the European royal families, and several well-known international personalities of culture, politics, and art. <\/p>\n

And today, this palace is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Visiting it is essentially a right of passage if you’re in Seville – and with good reason.<\/p>\n
