Es Cavallets
Municipal building begun in 1878 by master builder Rafel Quetgles. Over time it has been used as a school for boys and girls, a prison (called es Fondet), a butcher's shop, a cultural centre and municipal offices. In 1950 it ceased to function as a butcher's shop and in 1954 it was converted into a chess club and cultural centre, which it remained until 1991. The dolls' school on the first floor was moved to the new Vialfàs school in 1957. The basement is used as an exhibition hall.
