History & background

Casa de la Alhóndiga reflects the practical side of historic urban life in La Orotava. Buildings of this type were associated with the storage and regulation of grain, an essential resource in pre-modern towns.

Its value lies in showing that heritage is not only palaces and churches: municipal buildings also reveal how food supply, taxation and local administration worked.
