The Renaissance palace built in the 16th century by Fernando Torres y Portugal, first count of Villardompardo and viceroy of Peru. At the end of the 18th century it became the Women's Hospice, and in 1970 its restoration began, which also brought the Arab baths in the basement back into use. It is now a cultural centre with the International Museum of Naïve Art and the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs.
