This palace with its end of nineteenth century style was built on the orders of the Duke of Santo Mauro by the French architect Louis Legrand. It was finished in the year 1894.
The building, with its notable French influence, was the residence of the Duke of Santo Mauro and later became the embassy of the Philippines.
The definitive remodelling was commissioned to the Catalan architect Joseph Joan Pera, who knew how to combine the vanguard design which characterizes the furniture and the internal decoration with the building’s nineteenth century style.
From the old palace of the Duke of Santo Mauro the library – now renovated as a restaurant – and the dancing saloons with their great French windows leading into the garden are still conserved today.
