Located in Torrequebradilla and currently abandoned, it was ordered to be built by Don Íñigo Fernández de Córdoba y Mendoza towards the middle of the 17th century.

This rural palace was divided into two sections, the upper one as a sunny terrace with small and asymmetrical holes, and a lower access section, which was made through large semicircular arches on simple pilasters that extend vertically to the upper floor. The constructive severity, as well as the ornamental austerity, show that it was conceived not so much as an emblem of the greatness and power of the Lord of Torralba and Torrequebradilla, but as a residential palace with the function of a manor house to administer agricultural and grazing tasks in fields and dehesas.
