Construction History
It was during the reign of Henry IV of Spain when the first stage of building was initiated with the erecting of a house-cum-fort, which was highly characteristic of the Cáceres of the 15th century as defence from the attacks of other nobles was necessary. This stage can today be identified by the machicolations which defend the sides of its tower.
The remainder of the façade corresponds to the second stage of building. The work begun by Alonso Golfín in the 15th century was completed in the early 16th century by his son Sancho de Paredes Golfín, who is responsible for the termination of the building and its plateresque façade.
