Miguel del Águila commissioned the construction of this palace during the 16th century, incorporating architectural elements characteristic of Spanish nobility residences.

The palace appears in the Argentine writer Enrique Larreta's literary work La Gloria de Don Ramiro, connecting architecture with Spanish literature.

The building undergoes transformation into a Prado Museum center, requiring visitors to verify current accessibility and exhibition schedules before planning their visit.
