The building was erected at the beginning of the 20th century, taking advantage of an earlier one from the 16th century and a Renaissance palace to bring together, in the same space, the scattered work of the artist. The Marquis de la Vega-Inclán was the one who acquired these buildings and complemented them with furniture and fixtures from the 16th century. The museum opened in 1912.

Today, his museum is housed in a magnificent villa that was mistaken for the house of the painter "El Greco". Here is a set of the Twelve Apostles, one of which is in the sacristy of the cathedral.
At this point the palace of the Jewish treasurer of a Spanish king had been found.
