The palace that Infante Luis de Borbón, exiled from court after his marriage to María Teresa Vallabriga, commissioned from Ventura Rodríguez in 1779. It was built between 1780 and 1783 and never finished: the infante died in 1785 and only two of the four planned corner towers were built. Neoclassical, on a closed plan around a courtyard with a pyramidal fountain and a granite portico of three arches, it was a seminary until 1972 and was bought by the town council in 1988.
