The Palacio de Villalcázar is an 18th-century residential building located in the historic center of Málaga. It was built by Felipe de Unzurrunzaga and is noted for its marble columns in the courtyard, a stone portico over a continuous balcony, a watchtower, and remnants of geometric paintings on its exterior.
The palace takes its name from the eighth Count of Villalcázar de Sirga, José María Echevarri y Chacón. It served as the first residence commissioned by the first Count of Buenavista, where the first Counts of Buenavista resided. Later, the family moved to the Palacio de Buenavista.
While the structure has undergone significant modifications since its construction, it remains a notable example of historical architecture in the city. The building is recognized as a Bien de Interés Cultural and is managed by the Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España (IPCE). and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (MECD).
