The palace raised over the ruins of the Andalusi alcázar, which the Catholic Monarchs granted in 1477 to Diego Gómez de Torres. The Ulloa family remodelled it around 1600, the date given to its courtyard, and around the middle of the 18th century Jorge de Quiñones had the main façade reorganised. It was a noble residence until 1932 and is now the main seat of the Museo de Cáceres; the Andalusi cistern survives under the courtyard.
