that time disseminated in different parts of the elegant house exists
eminently, this way, the magnificent and splendid 'sevillana' Main Stairway
remodeled by D.ª Regla Manjón Mergelina, Countess of Lebrija, at the beginning
of the XX century, is a stairway of Andalusian style of three unequal tracts,
so frequent in the Andalusian palaces of the time; to decorate it it was only
used remains of the XVI and XVII centuries, the one coffered is coming from the
splendid missing palace that they possessed in Marchena Ponce of León,
dukes of Arcos, gentlemen of Marchena. In the wall of the same room there is a
