Jesús del Valle was built by the Jesuits and is already mentioned in Henríquez de Jorquera's Anales de Granada (around 1645) as a company farm. In a demarcation of farms made at the end of the 19th century, it is cited as Hacienda de Jesús del Valle. After the expulsion of the Jesuits and the confiscation of their properties, already in private hands, the modifications carried out on the complex were minor, possibly reduced to the own transformations demanded by the new agricultural work and the addition of an area destined to the guarding of won. The original complex had to be built throughout the seventeenth century, collaborating in its project and execution architects at the service of the Company, such as Father Pedro Sánchez (who had worked with Ambrosio de Vico in the works of the Sacromonte abbey, with which keeps formal affinities), or one of his more direct disciples. This link with Jesuit architects is also evident in formal solutions such as those of the vaults of the chapel and the refectory, whose organization and treatment is similar to those preserved in the Colegio de San Pablo de la Compañía in Granada.
