Town Hall
From the 16th century until 1926 it was the Positos house, an institution that depended on the Ministry of Agriculture.
It highlighted the figure of the councilor, who was the person in charge of distributing sedes instead of money to the farmers. The farmers in return had to give 5% of the crop produced.
In 1926 the councilor Don Juan Sorbas asked for a loan of 30,000 pesetas to build on the Positos house. It would from that point on be known as Town Hall and the Market.
