Casa de Pilatos

Without a single doubt, The Pilatos Palace is a reference for the Sevillian Holy Week. A palace that tried to make a beauty competition with the Alcazar. According to the legend of don Fadrique, one of the palace owner’s in the XVIth century, was the one who started a Via Crucis to the Cruz del Campo.

Admission Not Included

Iglesia Colegial del Salvador

We will arrive to the Salvador’s church, from where several Brotherhoods come out in procesion. It is one of the Holy Week highlights and it is the second largest church in town. It was built on the former Mosque remains, built in the XIIth century. You can check by visiting its courtyard and former minaret. Juan de Mesa and Martínez Montañez are great Andalusian sculptors who contribute to this celebration. Of them we have in this church, great images like the Christ of Passion and the Christ of Love. Gods of the wood, artisans of the religion.

Moises gave my family and I a great tour of Seville. We started in the Pilates palace and learned a lot about the history of Seville. The highlight of the day was watching one of the Seville Holy Week parades. It’s not easy to know where to go to watch them without a ticket and without getting blocked by the crowds when you want to leave. But Moises knew exactly to manage. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you care fortunate enough to get Moises as your guide.

FAITH AND TOURISM...exciting and engaging...difficult to explain in words, you have to experience it to understand how much importance this week-long event has for the Spanish Andalusians (and I think not only), honestly I was very struck by the devotion and preparation of the entire event. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you have the opportunity to participate and assist

Onze excursie was allereerst anderhalf uur uitgesteld! Dan wist onze gids niet eens wat we gingen bezichtigen 😟 We hadden de heilige paasweek geboekt: alle kerken waren gesloten en we hebben niet 1 processie mogen bekijken, wat we wel kregen is een rondleiding door Casa de Pilates waar over elk mozaïek steentje een uitleg kwam maar dit had totaal niks met de Pasen te maken 😡 We hebben nog een stukje door het centrum gewandeld en kregen totaal andere dingen te zien dan wat de excursie inhield en hebben hier een behoorlijk bedrag voor neer moeten tellen: al met al, men krijgt niet wat er beloofd wordt: een flinke tegenvaller en dat niet alleen in onze portemonnee!!! Wij eisen dan ook bij deze ons geld terug . We laten het hier niet bij zitten 🤬

Questa era la nostra terza visita a Sevilla e finalmente nel periodo della Semana Santa. La città è invasa da turisti ed il barrio historico è praticamente bloccata per tutta la settimana. Tutti i giorni vi sono almeno 5 processioni che partono dalle varie parrocchie e arrivano alla cattedrale e poi rientrano. Le migliaia di persone che invadono la città obbligano la creazione di sensi unici per i pedoni e attraversamenti regolati dalla polizia. Clima mite, cibo ottimo, gente cordiale. Andate e perdetevi nella minuscole vie della Juderia. Storica, religiosa, bellissima Sevilla.
