The site of the present building was where the former residence of the governor-general during the Spanish colonial era was located until an earthquake destroyed it on June 3, 1863. Governor Rafael de Echagüe y Bermingham moved to Malacañang after the earthquake. The Malacañang Palace then became the governor-general's official residence.
The building's exterior was used in the Chuck Norris film Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection for a scene set in Rio de Janeiro during a Brazilian Carnaval parade.
