“En la plaza de Pilatos, el vagabundo encuentra el palacio de los duques de Medinaceli, mejor dicho de los duques de Alcalá, con su mudéjar, su gótico y su plateresco revueltos en muy equilibrada elegancia” Camilo José Cela  “Primer Viaje Andaluz”  1959.

It`s no use translating , as it sounds so great and any Latino spirit may find it easy to understand, or, at least to approximate…
Casa de Pilatos (or The Palace of the Dukes of Medinaceli) is praiseworthy and deserves recommendations made by sensitive travellers who are gifted for writing beautiful words because it is one of the finest and most elegant, typical Andalusian constructions, with Renaissance, mudejare and gothic  influences.
Once we got in the magnificent, Andalusian capital, let`s stop for a while at the Palacio de la Condesa de Lerbrija. For a perfect day of art, revelations and beauty.
Vamos!
