"Data del año 1579, siendo Alcalde de esta Villa Don Gil Bartolomé. El edificio en la actualidad presenta dos entradas a distinto nivel que se corresponden con lo orografía del terreno y consta de una sola crujía. Está realizado a base de muros de sillería con profusa ornamentación. Como elementos más sobresalientes cabe destacar los tres grandes arcos de medio punto en la planta baja, dos grandes ménsulas de piedra en forma de leones, y tres escudos, así como sus ventanas adinteladas y un friso grabado con una descripción en la que se inscribe la fecha de su construcción.
Se supone que fue construida para uso público y destinada a oficios artesanales, aunque a lo largo de los años su uso ha sido muy variado. En la actualidad, ha sido restaurada para destinarla a museo y sala de exposiciones".

"It dates back to the year 1579, when Don Gil Bartolomé was Mayor of this Villa. The building currently has two entrances at different levels that correspond to the orography of the land and consists of a single bay. It is made of ashlar walls with profuse ornamentation. The most outstanding elements include the three large semicircular arches on the ground floor, two large stone corbels in the shape of lions, and three shields, as well as its lintel windows and a frieze engraved with a description in which the date of its construction is recorded.
It is assumed that it was built for public use and intended for artisan trades, although over the years its use has been very varied. Currently, it has been restored to serve as a museum and exhibition hall.
