This main square —called Plaça de Dins— preserves the Classicist arches of the cloister of the Monastery of Saint Augustine. It was built in the 14th century and subsequently refurbished. In 1837, after the assets of the Church and religious communities were seized, the Monastery was acquired by the Town Hall and fitted out as housing and market. The architect who made the refurbishment and the extension was José Moltó Valor. A Gothic arch survives in one of the access to this square, from Santo Tomàs’s street. This is the only vestige of Saint Augustine's Church that once rose by the Monastery.
