The episcopal palace was begun in 1762 beside the cathedral, under the patronage of José Francisco Lasso de Castilla and to plans by Antonio Ramos; after Ramos died in 1782, José Martín de Aldehuela continued the works. Its classicist Baroque façade has a retable-style doorway in grey and pink marble. Burned in 1931 and rebuilt in the 1940s, part of the building is now the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art.
