Pilate's House

Well, it's not really Pilate's House, but this 16th century palace was named after the Bible's Pilate. One of the royal residents, after traveling throughout Europe and the Holy Land, discovered that from his palace in Sevilla to a small temple in Cruz del Campo was the exact same distance as Pilate's House from Golgotha (where Jesus was crucified).

You might think I'd be jaded by all the magical mudéjar palaces I've been able to visit over the past few months, but the "small" Casa de Pilatos was nothing short of spectacular, and, probably due to the steeper entry price, not as crowded as the Alcázar.
