alchohol distillery, which was active in the 19th Century
due to the great production of grapes at the time in

The first structure dates from the 16th Century and was built
on the ruins of the mosque.
The present building, from the 18th Century, is neoclassical
in style with various elements of imitation barroque, such as the exterior

The interior consists of a single rectangular nave
finished off with a domed ceiling in whose wing, on the Plaza Mayor side,
a bell tower was erected. From this period there are also several paintings
by unknown artists,
