During the visit, which can be done just for 8\u20ac, we could discover the noble Sevillian architecture going through the gothic and the m\u00fadejar making a journey through the last 500 years.<\/p>\n
This palace was founded on the XV and XVI century taking the name of Due\u00f1as for the monastery that was located on that place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Initially it belonged to Pineda\u00b4s Family, whose Family members were very important on that time, being some of them part of Granada\u00b4s War. Later, the palace belonged to Marquis of Villanueva del R\u00edo whose daughter married Fernando \u00c1lvarez de Toledo, VI Duke of Alba. The House of Alba has not always been a palace as it was during centuries, since in the XIX C. it changed into a traditional neighbours\u00b4 house dividing their saloons in order to become new dwellings. The famous poet Antonio Machado was born in the year 1875 in one of these houses, he was spending his first 8 years of life which he mentioned in his writings: \u201cMy childhood memories a patio of Seville and a bright garden where the lemon tree grows up..\u201d (Campos De Castilla,1912), “Light of Seville is this… This is the Palace where I was born, with the rumour of his fountain\u201c (Nuevas canciones, 1924).<\/p>\n
