Originally, when the palace was built, it belonged to various noblemen, among whom were the Count of Corbosa and the Count of Miraflores. The palace experienced its heyday during the time of Countess of Lebrija, whose name the palace bears today.
She bought the house in 1901 out of her passion for art. She had a large collection of art, and with the remodeling of the palace, each artifact got its new place. Her love of archeology motivated her to research, collect and buy art. The collection contains a priceless collection of vases, amphorae, various vessels, jewelry, sculptures.
Above all, the palace stands out for its decorative walls, which date back to 1585. The first floor was used in the summer period, while the second floor was used during the winter period.
The heirs of the countess turned the house into a museum in 1999.
