The Palacio de Saldañuela, a cultural heritage asset, was declared a monument of historical-artistic national treasure perteneciente al Tesoro Artístico Nacional in 1931. Initially, a Renaissance-style manor built around 1562, it was expanded by adding an existing 15th-century tower. Over time, the palace has seen various changes in ownership and use. In 1951, it was acquired by Caja de Burgos. The palace underwent restoration in the 1950s and was remodeled by architect Pablo Puente Aparicio in the 1990s. Currently, it accommodates the Caja de Burgos painting collection, which includes a manierist retable by Juan de Villoldo in the palace chapel.
