It is located in Plaza de Alonso Martínez, in the center of Burgos, and is part of the French Way of St. James.
It was built between 1903 and 1907 on the site of the former House of the Four Towers.
It was designed by architect Saturnino Martínez Ruiz.
In 1927, it became the property of the Ministry of Defense through an exchange with the former cavalry barracks (now the Museum of Human Evolution).
