The barracks Pedro de Ribera built from 1717, on Felipe V's order of 4 November that year, with a Churrigueresque doorway. A fire destroyed its upper floors in 1869, and it ceased to be a barracks in 1969. Restored, it has been the Conde Duque cultural centre since 2011, with the city archive, the historical library and the museum of contemporary art.
