Built in the 16th century by Diego Beltrán, a nobleman and member of the Royal Council of the Indies, around 1528–1533, on a site previously used on Santiago Street. Its design is attributed to the royal architect Luis de Vega. From 1602 to 1604, it housed the Royal Chancery; later, it served as the residence of the Marquis of Ensenada during his exile. In 1916, it was acquired by the Marquises of Argüeso; in 1950, it passed into the hands of the State and was used as a vocational institute, currently functioning as an educational center.
