Located in Noja, Cantabria, Palacio del Marqués de Albaicín was built in 1916 by Leonardo Rucabado for Obdulia Bonifaz. Obdulia Bonifaz was the sister-in-law of Cristóbal Pérez del Pulgar y Ramírez de Arellano, who received the title of Marquess of Albaicín from Alfonso XIII.
In 1992, the palace was declared a good of cultural interest with the category of monument. It boasts a unique blend of styles, featuring a baroque main structure, a new main facade and other lateral volumes of a neo-Renaissance appearance, and a tower with twin windows. The structure consists of load-bearing walls of masonry and brick with ashlar in the corners and buttresses.
A small chapel attached to the house features a portico with five columns. Since 1997, the palace has been owned by the Ayuntamiento de Noja and is used for the development of cultural activities.
