This late 17th century neoclassical building is located near Guadalquivir. The architect of this building was Leonardo de Figueroa, he does not only own the portal, completed in the 18th century and executed in the Churrigueresco style.

Originally, the building housed the Naval Academy. This is reminiscent of the figure of the great navigator San Telmo at the entrance.

In 1849, the building from the school turned into the residence of the Duke of Montpenciere, who claimed the throne of Spain. At this time, the Palace was the center of conspiracies against the royal dynasty.

Then this building was donated by Maria Luisa Fernanda to the Archbishop. In 1992 it became the property of the Andalusian Government Council.
