Antiguo Cabildo y Cilla Municipal

In the heart of the charming Sevillian town of Lebrija, stands a majestic monument that stands the test of time as a silent witness to history and Baroque architecture: the Antiguo Cabildo y Cilla Municipal. This building, erected in 1791 and once belonging to the archbishopric of Seville, is an impressive example of the wealth of heritage that this region treasures.

Since its construction more than two centuries ago, the Antiguo Cabildo y Cilla Municipal has been an emblem of Baroque civil architecture in Lebrija. Integrating two distinct but equally fascinating areas, this building is a perfect synthesis of elegance and functionality.

The first part, the rectory, opens onto Tetuán street with a façade that captivates at first sight. The undulating movement of its cornices reveals a unique sophistication, while inside, a majestic courtyard serves as the central axis distributing the canons' quarters. Upstairs, the grain stores take us back to a time when agriculture was the mainstay of daily life.

The second area, the cilla, faces the Plaza del Mantillo and is distinguished by its main courtyard, where the imposing counterwght tower of the oil mill is still preserved. Connecting the two spaces, the Sala de Bóveiedas, which originally housed stables for livestock, has now hosted cultural activities since 1986, becoming the cultural heartbeat of Lebrija.
