The name is derived from its eighteenth-century owner, Dª Josefa de Ovando, the wife of General D. Antonio Vicente de Arce.
Like many other fortified houses and palaces of the Cáceres Historic Centre, it was built in the fourteenth Century and reformed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
It has a truncated tower, and on its portal, there is a semi-cylindrical gatehouse accompanied by Ovando-Mogollón family crests.
It has had many diverse uses, like the headquarters of the Extremadura newspaper, the Faculty of Law, and, currently, the Central Services of the University of Extremadura.
Recommendations. Together with the Palace of the Counts of Adanero, it is one of the largest architectural complexes in the Monumental City of Cáceres
