Casa Fabiola
This city-owned mansion near the cathedral houses the extensive art collection of Mariano Bellver, a wealthy businessman who donated it to Sevilla in 2015. Alongside sculpture and ceramics, it is dominated by 19th-century costumbrista painting. Long out of fashion, this folkloric style depicting romantic scenes of Andalusian life is enjoying a comeback, and this collection, including works by Valeriano Bécquer, José García Ramos, and Gonzalo Bilbao provides a colorful introduction.
