This palace was the residence of the counts of Valle de Salazar who requested its construction of it in 1664. The façade, a baroque work of Juan González of Castro Illada, was built by the in 1681 stonemasons Juan Lizcano and Andrés Rodríguez Bello, it is one of the most beautiful Canarian architecture with simple and wholesome lines. The complex is built around a courtyard whose columns support galleries. Before becoming the seat of the bishopric of La Laguna in the 19th century, this palace housed the casino El Porvenir and it is on the piano of this club that Teobaldo Power composed most of its famous Cantos Canarios. In January 2006, the palace was destroyed by a fire that reduced part of this artistic heritage in a lot of ashes.
