This house-palace served as a home for the Count of Valdeparaiso, minister of Fernando VI, in the months in which he could leave the Court and enjoy Almagro, the place where he was born.

This building was built on top of a previous one and was remodeled at the end of the 17th century. It has a remarkable façade, formed by a formidable central doorway and two large side towers. In turn, the portal is divided into two bodies: the lower one, which is linteled and is highlighted by a thick baquetón with earspools and Tuscan pilasters with sunken festoons decorated with garlands; and the upper one, which is supported by the entablature, decorated by a large fleshy leaf, and is formed by a balcony with wing moldings decorated with plant elements. It should also be noted that the family coats of arms are located on both sides.
