This 17th century building, originally built as a school for the orphaned children of sailors, is the seat of the Andalusian autonomous government. One of the reasons it delights visitors to the city so much is its exterior Sevillian Baroque architecture.. Most of the best baroque artwork in the city tend to be the interior decorations inside the various churches around the city. This one by contrast has lovely Baroque elements on its courtyards, chapels, gardens and towers The Churrigueresque entrance is especially striking, highly detailed and beautifully contrasting with the colors of the rest of the building. Other highlights include the Patio de San Jeronimo (with busts of Seville’s historical figures), the Baroque chapel, and the Salon de Espejos (room of Mirrors). Neither of the grounds nor the palace building are generally open to the public. You have to arrange for guided tours.
