A 'poor man's Alcázar' still inhabited by the ducal family — stunning and uncrowded

The haunting Casa de Pilatos, which is still occupied by the ducal Medinaceli family, is one of the city's most glorious mansions. It's a mixture of Mudéjar, Gothic and Renaissance styles, with some beautiful tilework and artesonados (ceilings of interlaced beams with decorative insertions). The overall effect is like a poor man's Alcázar — and far less crowded.
