Manor house built in the 16th century in Renaissance style, as a residence for the Dean of the cathedral
Built in the Renaissance style in 1557, it belonged to councilman Pedro Álvarez Serrano. Constructed of granite ashlar, it has three stories, an unusual feature in the city.
Facing north, it is located on Lope Núñez street, a road that leads into the walled city from the San Vicente Gate.
It was commissioned in the 16th century by Miguel del Águila.
The complex consists of the Contreras or Polentinos palace, as the original core, and a series of buildings that have been added over time (from the installation of the Academy of Intendancy in 1875, until its conversion into the Military Historical Archive in 1993).
