This historical Casas del Concejo (Council halls)  are in the Plaza Mayor. The facade dates from 1906, designed by the sculptor Jose Soler Onrrubia. The clock tower and the wrougiht tower are notable; both are the work of Emilio Guitierez.
CHAPEL OF LUIS DE LUCENA
The chapel was originally adjacent to the Church of San Miguel which no longer exist. It was designed in the 16th century by Luis de Lucena, a humanist from the city in the service of the Vatican. Inside special mention requires fresoes painted by Romulo Cincinato.

The palace, situated in the square of the same name, dates back to the 16th century, evidence of which we see in the main entrance and in the central patio, designed by Lorenzo Valzquez. Inside we can admire the Chines Room, decorated with rice wall paper. The style is rare in Spain, adding to its value.
