A Plateresque town palace on the plaza de la Villa, built in 1537 for Benito Jiménez de Cisneros, the cardinal's nephew. Antonio Pérez was held prisoner there at the turn of the 17th century. The city bought it in 1909 and rebuilt it between 1910 and 1914; the façade on the calle del Sacramento is the one that changed least.
