[2] This is a building in the neoclassical style, its construction was ordered by the archbishop of Santiago, Bartolomé Raxoi Losada, in 1766 with the purpose of serving as a seminary for confessors.

The palace is located in the western part of the Plaza del Obradoiro, which closes on that side, in front of the main façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

To its right is the College of San Jerónimo, which today serves as the headquarters of the Rectorate of the University of Santiago; to the left of the palace is the Royal Hospital of the Catholic Monarchs, currently part of the network of National Paradores of Spain.

The palace contributed to enhancing the Plaza del Obradoiro, which lacked a worthy building on that side, even though the imposing new western façade of the Compostela headquarters had been finished a few years earlier.

Above this loggia, two upper bodies develop, both established by attached columns of Giant order Ionic, which start, on a pedestal supported at the end of the portico.
