The Santa Cruz Castle was built in the 16th century with the aim of completing the defensive system of the Coruña bay. After losing its strategic function, it became, already in the 19th century, the residence of the daughter of the writer Emilia Pardo Bazán. It is at this time when the castle dependencies are reconstructed, giving the central building the shape of a country house as we know it today.
