Construction began in 1928 and was completed in 1931. Niceto Alcal\u00e1 Zamora, the president of the Republic at that time, inaugurated the palace on January 17, 1932 as the headquarters of the Diputaci\u00f3n de Alicante.<\/p>\n
Juan Vidal Ramos was the architect and is known for other iconic buildings of Alicante like the Lamaignere house (1918), the Carbonell house (1924), the Socorro house (1926) and the Provincial Hospital (1926), as well as the current Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ). <\/p>\n
