This RENAISSANCE PALACE HOUSE is no ordinary residence: upon crossing its imposing stone entrance, flanked by the coat of arms of the former marquisate, it becomes clear that this is a witness to centuries of history and nobility. Located in the historic centre of Écija, the property stands on the former site of the vanished Convent of the Holy Spirit, preserving vestiges that connect the present with the richness of past eras.
The main courtyard, spacious and luminous, impresses with the harmony of its semicircular arches resting on Doric-Tuscan columns, while on the upper level, the segmental arches rest on marble shafts with Renaissance bases and capitals, demonstrating the continuity between tradition and civil refinement. From here, an artistic wrought-iron gate leads to the orange tree courtyard, where an 18th-century stone fountain marks the centre of a space that combines serenity, freshness, and elegance.
The main staircase, crowned by a semi-dome on pendentives that preserve traces of noble frescoed coats of arms, connects the floors with discreet majesty: from the keystone hangs a lamp that illuminates circulation, and the spiral balustrade reflects the skill of the wrought iron, replicating the craftsmanship of the exterior balconies. Every detail, every molding, speaks of craftsmanship, time, and dedication, and the RENAISSANCE PALACE HOUSE retains this legacy in every corner.
Inside, the reception rooms follow a rhythm that blends spaciousness and warmth, perfect for hosting meetings, celebrations, or simply contemplating the history that breathes through each wall. The galleries display spaces that could house collections, libraries, or exhibitions, while the chapel and music room recall the multifunctional character of civil nobility of bygone times.
Within these walls, living history is evident: from the remains of the original convent, through Baroque additions from the 18th century, to the most intimate and personalized decoration of its former inhabitants. A painting of the Immaculate Conception, signed by Francisco de Morales in 1713, presides over the staircase and preserves the artistic tradition maintained in the house.
This RENAISSANCE PALACE HOUSE is not merely a place to live: it is a legacy, a canvas where the past dialogues with the present, offering the possibility of residing in a home with character, history, and nobility, keeping the memory of Écija and its heritage alive.

Hispalica Propiedades Where your dreams become home
Écija occupies a singular position among Andalusian cities, known historically as the City of Towers for its extraordinary concentration of Baroque church towers that define the skyline. Situated in the Genil river valley, the historic centre preserves one of the most intact ensembles of 17th and 18th century civil and religious architecture in southern Spain. The Calle Espíritu Santo sits within this core, on the former footprint of a convent, surrounded by palaces, noble houses, and cobbled streets that reflect centuries of aristocratic and ecclesiastical patronage.
Daily life in central Écija centres on the Plaza de España, a short walk from Calle Espíritu Santo, lined with cafés and the weekly market. The Palacio de Peñaflor and the Museo Histórico Municipal are within easy walking distance. The city has a working commercial centre with independent shops, traditional tapas bars, and the covered Mercado de Abastos for fresh produce.
Écija sits on the A-4 motorway corridor, placing Seville approximately 87 kilometres to the west, reachable in under an hour by car. Córdoba is roughly 50 kilometres to the east, also under an hour by road. The nearest high-speed rail connections are at Seville Santa Justa station, which links to Madrid in approximately two and a half hours. Seville Airport, handling international and domestic routes, is approximately 90 kilometres away, around one hour by car.
