The palace built for the Duke of Uceda, Felipe III's favourite, to Francisco de Mora's designs, with Juan Gómez de Mora directing the work from 1613 to 1625. Felipe V bought it in 1717 for the offices of the royal councils, until then in the Alcázar. It houses the Council of State and is seen from the calle Mayor.
