Cilla del Cabildo

A 15th-century secular building constructed in the Andalusian vernacular style. The 18th-century façade features, above the main door, a tile panel with the coat-of-arms of Seville’s Cathedral chapter -the Giralda Tower flanked by vases of lilies- suggesting that the building was once owned by the church.

Casa Señorial Calle Lora

This typical baroque manor house is the epitome of local urban architecture in the 18th century. It was built by Alonso Ruiz Florindo, who modernised and improved his father’s style. The façade has a vertical portal with a balcony and viewpoint. However, the entrance is offset to the left, facing straight into San Sebastian Street, which runs perpendicular to Lora Street.

There is little literature about the works of Juan Ruiz Florindo. Most works have been identified by characteristics that are specific to this master-builder. This house was built between 1730 and 1740 for the Fernández de Peñaranda family. The viewpoint with baroque elements ties in well with the portal, considered one of the most beautiful in the province of Seville.

Recollections of a beautiful 18th century stately mansion. Only a section of the facade and the portal, with a graceful balcony-viewpoint embellished with an elegant wrought-iron railing, remains. The balcony sits at the confluence of two streets.

As far as civil architecture is concerned, El Viso del Alcor has beautiful mansions built in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, located in the historical centre of the town. 

Palacio del Conde de Valhermoso
Count of Valhermoso Palace

The Count of Valhermoso Palace is the most outstanding example of Ecija’s Renaissance palaces. The Marquises of Fuentes and Villaseca commissioned its construction in the 16th century in Renaissance style. It likely dates from around 1530. It boasts the best Plateresque-style entrance in Ecija, which consists of an impressive semi-circular arch.
