From this building was part the old Hospital of the Espirito Santo, which served as support center for the pilgrims of Saint James of Compostela, and the former chapel of Santa Maria, both dating from the 14th century. The tower and the ancient City Hall, date from the 15th century and the Church of the Misericórdia of the 16th century. All parts of the history of this (these) building (s) have been restored, nowadays through a work of renovation and revival done in the recent years.
