Casa de Las Sirenas
It is a nineteenth-century French-style residential mansion located in Alameda de Hércules. It is popularly know as Casa de las Sirenas (House of the Mermaids)because of the large figures representing these mythological creatures that adorn the access ramps to the main doorway.
It was the Marquis of Esquivel who commissioned its construction to the architect Joaquín Fernández Ayarragaray in 1861 and it was completed in 1864. With the passage of time and a number of owners who hardly ever lived there, it deteriorated until it ended up in a ruinous state and Alameda de Hércules lost much of its lustre.
The City Council of Seville acquired it in 1992 and started to rebuild it. It is currently the Civic Centre for the "Casco Antiguo" or Old Town District, and it is the venue for numerous cultural activities, conferences, concerts, exhibitions, etc.
Monday to Friday: 8.15am to 9.45pm.
