Formerly a tobacco factory, where the famous cigar girls worked, this is the biggest public building in the whole of Spain. In 1728, Ignacio Sala began to build it on the same site as the old factory. The building was finished by Sebastián van der Borcht in 1771. It has two main courtyards: the central one and the Patio del Reloj (or Clock Courtyard), as it is known. The former faces onto Calle San Fernando. It has a large balcony, a triangular pelota court and it is beautifully decorated with sculptures and reliefs alluding to tobacco and its importation from the Indies.Nowadays it houses the Rector's office of the University of Seville, as well as the Law, Geography and History, and Philology Faculties.
