Its construction dates from the end of the second half of the eighteenth century and is the oldest building in the Puerta del rays. The best known of its architecture is the clock that exists in a turret built on the roof . This centennial watch protagonist is once a year on the night of December 31 due to the chimes that mark the ritual of the twelve point front of the main door of the building you can see a historical plaque on the zero kilometer (source radial roads).
