Masterpiece of civil architecture of Granada Neoclassicism . It was promoted by D. Cristóbal Fernández de Córdova Barradas, VII Count of Luque. It was conceived as a suburban town , right on the historical limit of Granada 's urban area at that time . Hence its peculiar " U " shaped plan , made up of a central body and two lateral wings that leave a large landscaped patio in the center that articulates the interior space . Its façade stands out for the volumetric play of its four Doric columns completely free of the lower body, which is why it is popularly known as the Palace of the Columns. Rehabilitated in 1946 by the architects Luis Álvarez de Cienfuegos and Juan de Dios de Wilhelmi for the university, since 1980 it has been occupied by the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation."
