The palace is one of the emblematic buildings of Sevillian Baroque architecture. On 10 March 1682 construction began on the building, dedicated to the University of Navigators. Thereafter, the building had a number of uses.Upon the death in 1897 of Infanta Luisa Fernanda, Duchess of Montpensier, the palace was willed to the Archdiocese of Seville; its gardens, which now constitute the María Luisa Park, site of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, were willed to the city of Seville.
