With a Renaissance style and characterised by large stone arcades, this is one of the most important historical buildings in the municipality.

It was constructed at the end of the 16th century in the old main street, in the very centre of the area known as Vila Vella. The building’s main function was that of a warehouse for the procurement and sale of wheat, due to the fact that the trade of this grain was of vital importance during the Middle Ages. Later, it changed its functions and became what was known as Casa de La Vila (which would nowadays be the Town Hall of a settlement). Within this building was where the Council, the archive, the prison and the administrative sections of the time were housed, inside narrow rooms.

During the 20th century the building served as a unitary school (Primeres Lletres and Acadèmia de Batxillerat). Inside there is a machine for shelling almonds, invented and patented by the local industrialist Silvestre Ivars, which was a great success in the 1930s.

On the facade there is a sundial which was constructed in 1774.
