Sala de Jurats i Justicies

Monuments

This building dates back to the 17th century (1620). The building served as the Town Hall and the Lonja de Contratación (trade marketplace). Its harmonious, simple façade is hewn from tosca stone. The ground floor has three half-pointed arches on the main façade and one on each side façade, forming an open porch. There are two windows on the first floor and a balcony over the impost that runs around the façade. It has a sundial dated 1639 and a back door that gives onto San José with a dintel decorated with a small curtain arch. Next door is the house of Constanza the sister of St Vicente Ferrer, Teulada's patron saint. The square where it stands, plaça de Els Portxes, has a plaque which commemorates the date when the municipal area gained its independence from Benissa and Calpe (1386).
