There are six buildings in Malaga separated by a temporal space of four centuries, but which are formally united: the mansion on Gaona Street, which belonged to the Mayorazgo de Buenavista and which was erected by Baltasar Francisco Guerrero Chavarino, who in 1706 was able to commission its construction to Felipe from Unzurrunzaga; the Private Garden of the Episcopal Palace of Malaga, promoted in 1783 by Bishop Molina Lario and built by the Teruel architect José Martín de Aldehuela, and the Prior's Private Garden in the Convent of Victoria, possibly built in the 17th century; the Casas de Félix Sáenz in Málaga, the América Palace hotel in Seville and the Málaga Pavilion at the Ibero-American Exhibition in Seville in 1929, the latter three designed by the Malaga architect Fernando Guerrero Strachan. Both the América Palace hotel and the Pavilion were built between 1928 and 1929 for the Ibero-American Exhibition of Seville, inaugurated in May 1929. The first two buildings have a common element, which also appears in the Pavilion of Malaga: a garden patio, which constitutes the central core of the construction. When Guerrero Strachan designed the Malaga Pavilion he was inspired by the only two models of patio gardens that were preserved in the city of Malaga: the Private Garden of the Episcopal Palace and the Patio del Palacio on Gaona Street.
