The palace was built in 1765 by Ventura Rodríguez, one of the most prolific and prominent architects of the Spanish 18th century. In addition to the building itself, the palace integrates a very extensive and wild landscaped area to the east of the central core of the population.
The building responds to an initiative of the infant Luis Antonio de Borbón y Farnesio, the youngest of the male children of King Felipe V and brother of Carlos III, who took over the Boadilla manor in 1761, taking advantage of the economic difficulties he was going through Josefa Micaela de Mirabal, III Marchioness of Mirabal, to whom the area was assigned.1

The Family of the Infante Don Luis de Borbón (1784), by Francisco de Goya. The infant resided in the palace between 1765, when the building was completed, and 1776.
The current palace stands on the old palace of the Two Towers, residence of the aforementioned marquisate, which was integrated into the structure based on a design by Ventura Rodríguez made in 1763. The works were carried out at a very fast pace, leaving the building practically completed in 1765, as it appears in a commemorative tablet of the end of the construction, placed on the main facade.
