Les Drassanes

Its origins dates back to the 13th Century, when King Jaime I donated the land to the Templar Guillermo de Cardona to build facilities necessary for the people of the sea.

This building is an old dockyard, dating from 16th Century and underwent a reform in the 18th Century.

Inside, apart from playing an important role as a port warehouse, ships were built and repaired.

That port warehouse was a narrow and long building, of one floor plus a chamber with double-sided Arabic roof.

The current building is a robust 3-storey building with an attics crowning it. You can see on the first floor 5 rough stone arches, with the plinth, corners and part of the dividing cornices of the same stone, belonging to the former 16th Century port warehouse, which later had various functions, including the construction of ships.

That port warehouse was a narrow and long building, one floor plus a chamber with double-sided Arabic roof.

 A sixth arch, in the current no 3 of the square, was demolished in the 2nd half of the 20th Century. Everything on the upper floors is totally modern, being integrated into a larger building.

As for the architecture, attention should also be paid to the distribution of the original openings of the facade, dimensions, typology and exterior ornaments.

The interior is currently modified and used for private purposes (hotel).
