Great place to take cool photos, so come on Friday at 10:00 to visit the first flour for free (1-2 hours). You will be impressed!

It is a lovely private museum in a historical 16th-century building bought in 1901 by Regla Manjón Mergelina, Countess of Lebrija, who restored and reconstructed the palace to house her valuable collection of antiquities. The admission is 12€, and it includes a guided tour of the upper floors where the living quarters of the countess used to be. The interior of the palace is decorated in a palette of architectural styles, with elements such as Moorish arches, Plateresque decoration, tilework retrieved from the ruined convent, a coffered ceiling from a 16th-century palace, and a Renaissance frieze, while its façade and layout reflect the typical Andalusian style. Two minor negative things about the place are a rather poor English of the guide and prohibition to take photos at the upper floor.

We had the most wonderful and knowledgeable English guide who showed us around the palace. She was good and with a sense of humor. The palace itself is wonderful.

Fantastic old house packed with Roman mosaics. It's quieter than many of the city's attractions. Be sure to stay for the tour of the private rooms upstairs.

We were just passing by, saw this place, decided to step in and ultimately it was a good move. The ground floor is a great collection of ancient art, especially mosaics, sculptures etc. You can walk everything by yourself. The first floor is more private and accessible only with a guide at specific hours (included in the ticket price). This part is nice as well, showing more of the history of the owner with great architecture and great historic furniture. Ultimately I would say it was great place to see. By the way the guide was really nice and speaking English fluently so no problem to understand if you are not a Spaniard.
