XIV, Christian period, the church of Santa María de la Mota is built and in the s. XVI the Palace acquires its maximum splendor following the Renaissance style prevailing at the time. During the s. XVII, it was transformed into a Palace-Convent thanks to the construction of two monasteries: that of the Immaculate Conception and that of the Capuchins.
