Baroque building from the 18th century. It was used as a warehouse for salt, tobacco, sulphur, etc. It is the evidence of Pontecesures’ relevance at the time as it was the only port prepared for the unloading of salt since 1467. A fire destroyed the entire interior of the building in 1990. The Bourbon coat of arms remains on the facade as well as the following text: “Los almacenes de la renta del tavaco construidos en el año de MDCCVC reinando el Señor Dn Carlos IV” (The tobacco warehouses built in 1795 during Carlos IV’s reign)
