Municipal Historical Archive

A building dating from the era of the Catholic Monarchs in the early 16th century.

It was originally designed as a grain store, intended to assist the population—particularly farmers—during times of scarcity.

It still retains the characteristic structure of its original function.

Its status as a municipal building is highlighted by the presence of the city’s coat of arms, reproduced several times on the façade.

Since 1925, it has housed the Municipal Historical Archive, which holds over 1,500 linear metres of documentation, as well as various rooms used for exhibitions and cultural purposes
