"Entre 1980 y 1985 se rehabilitó el inmueble para acoger al Ayuntamiento, uso que mantuvo hasta el año 2010."

"Antiguo Pósito o almacén de grano del Duque de Osuna, señor de la Villa, readaptado como Sala de Exposiciones y museo municipal.

Es un edificio del siglo XVI, de recia construcción con formas muy castellanas y sobrias aunque tiene algunas concesiones artísticas, como su portada barroca en piedra del XVIII, así como los escudos ducales que la rodean.

En los antiguos monasterios benedictinos se situaba en la panda (galería) occidental del claustro, llamada por este motivo panda de la cilla. En los monasterios cistercienses, la cilla no daba directamente a la panda, sino que se interponía el corredor de conversos.
Era una estancia de planta rectangular, generalmente con dos alturas y con ventanas en sus muros este y oeste. A veces, se disponía una puerta amplia para pasar carros con las provisiones. Solía estar abovedada y en la mayoría de los casos, se construía con dos naves divididas por columnas.
En el piso bajo, normalmente dividido por tabiques, se almacenaban las frutas y cereales, así como la bodega del monasterio.

"Archidona es una ciudad y un municipio español de la provincia de Málaga, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Es el centro de la Comarca Nororiental de Málaga.

Existen distintas hipótesis sobre el origen etimológico del término Archidona. Se ha apuntado a un origen latino, de la expresión Arx Domina o Arcis Domina, que significa "señora de las alturas", pero no se han encontrado pruebas que lo constaten."

"Between 1980 and 1985 the property was rehabilitated to house the Town Hall, a use it maintained until 2010."

"Old Granary or grain warehouse of the Duke of Osuna, lord of the town, readapted as an Exhibition Hall and municipal museum.

It is a building from the 16th century, of strong construction with very Castilian and sober forms, although it has some artistic concessions, such as its baroque stone doorway from the 18th century, as well as the ducal shields that surround it.

In the old Benedictine monasteries it was located in the western panda (gallery) of the cloister, called panda de la cilla for this reason. In the Cistercian monasteries, the cilla did not directly face the group, but rather the corridor of converts was in the way.
It was a rectangular room, generally with two floors and with windows on its east and west walls. Sometimes, a wide gate was provided to pass carts with supplies. It used to be vaulted and in most cases, it was built with two naves divided by columns.
On the ground floor, normally divided by partitions, fruits and cereals were stored, as well as the monastery cellar.

"Archidona is a Spanish city and municipality in the province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is the center of the Northeastern Region of Málaga.

There are different hypotheses about the etymological origin of the term Archidona. A Latin origin has been suggested, from the expression Arx Domina or Arcis Domina, which means "lady of the heights", but no evidence has been found to confirm this."
