The Buenavista Palace was originally constructed in the first half of the 16th century for Diego de Cazalla. It was built over the remains of a Nasrid palace, some parts of which still exist today. In 1939, it was designated as a National Monument. From 1961 to 1997, it housed a fine arts museum before being acquired with the plan to transform it into the Picasso museum.
