The Almudín was built on the Muslim quarterdeck in the early 14th century as a place for storing and selling wheat. Its dimensions were expanded throughout the XV and XVI centuries until it acquired its current appearance. Inside it contains wall paintings of popular character alluding to the entry of wheat into the city, as well as representations of the patron saints of the guilds that operated in the grain trade. In 1969 it was declared a Historic Artistic Monument. Between 1906 and 1991 the almudín was the headquarters of the Paleontological Museum, and after its restoration in 1996, it is dedicated to an exhibition hall.
