The construction of this palace adorned with beautiful exotic tiles and beautiful gardens began in the late fifteenth century on the initiative and desire to Pedro Enriquez de Quiñones (Adelantado Mayor de Andalucía) and his wife Catalina de Rivera, founder of the Casa de Alcalá, but had to be completed by the son, Frederic Enríquez de Ribera (first Marquis of Tarifa), which was responsible for housing came to our times is known named after a pilgrimage he made to Jerusalem in 1519. Upon his return, tradition says it found that the distance that existed between the ruins of the "house" of the famous Praetorian Pontius Pilate and Golgotha, was the same as the one between his palace with a temple located outside the walls known as the Cross field. Surprised by the coincidence, established a Via Crucis with twelve stations. The first season was jostled out of Jesus from the House of Pilate. The popular imagination helped identify the Palace to the House of Praetor considering a copy of it, and its rooms were named with names related to the Passion of Christ "Pretorio Show," "Chapel of the Flagellation", etc..
