Granary or Alfolí


The Granary is a building in which the quantity of wheat that the towns and places had as a spare and provision for the years of famine was kept or stored.
It is a building, composed of the Masía of two elements with a square shape on its floor plan. They are joined together sharing only one of their corners and thus leaving almost all four sides free. Only one of them faces the Plaza de España, declared a Historic-Artistic Site. It is connected to the Collegiate church by a covered tunnel-shaped street known as El Camarín.

Both buildings are two stories high, the building facing the square is composed of two rows of five bays covered with vaulted vaults supported by pendentives that transmitted the weight of the stored grain to the pillars.


The second body retains greater beauty, as its structure is composed of arches in two directions on which small domes rest, thus creating a perfect geometry.
The first phase of construction of the Pósito was carried out in the second half of the 16th century, being extended in the 17th and 18th centuries. The façade is symmetrical in which the centre is marked by a main entrance decorated with a trilobed arch and a pediment that is not completed. This rests on two pillars, one on each side of the central door, and in the middle of it appears the composition of a shield with ceramic tiles, with the inscription, "Tu in ea et ego pro eo: "To her and I for her", motto of the House of Alba
