Palacio de los condes de Santa Ana - Lucena, Córdoba, España - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"Aunque su cronología es un tanto difícil de discernir, se acepta que fue construido durante la década de 1730 y fue finalizado durante la segunda mitad del siglo xviii. En la primera planta se conoce que Antonio Rafael de Mora y Saavedra albergó un gabinete de antigüedades para sus visitas al palacio, entre los que se encontraba la estatua romana de Eros del siglo ii que fue encontrado en los cimientos de la planta baja en 2010.1

El edificio fue vendido en 1879 a la familia Mata Burgos, posteriormente conocidos como Torres Burgos. En 1982 fue declarado «Monumento histórico-artístico de carácter nacional», actualmente enmarcado en la declaración de Bien de Interés Cultural. Apenas unos años más tarde, la estructura fue comprada por el Ministerio de Justicia, que redefinió su uso como palacio de justicia con unas obras entre los años 1986 y 1987."

"Although its chronology is somewhat difficult to discern, it is accepted that it was built during the 1730s and was completed during the second half of the 18th century. On the first floor it is known that Antonio Rafael de Mora y Saavedra housed an antique cabinet for his visits to the palace, among which was the 2nd century Roman statue of Eros that was found in the foundations of the ground floor in 2010.1

The building was sold in 1879 to the Mata Burgos family, later known as Torres Burgos. In 1982 it was declared a "Historical-artistic monument of national character", currently framed in the declaration of Asset of Cultural Interest. Just a few years later, the structure was purchased by the Ministry of Justice, which redefined its use as a courthouse with works between 1986 and 1987."
