National Historical- artistic Monument and Cultural Heritage Site
Occupying a large rectangular block on the site where all maritime trade was once conducted, one of the city's most important buildings was erected between 1758 and 1802, designed by architects Felipe Rubio, Antonio Gilabert, and Tomás Miner.
Originally built as a customs house, in 1828 it was transformed into a tobacco factory, and in 1914 it was adapted to serve as the Palace of Justice.
Designed in the Neoclassical style, its central courtyard is split in two by arcades. On the exterior, it features exposed brickwork and ashlar masonry, with the ground and first floors distinguished from the upper two levels by rusticated pilasters and a continuous horizontal belt course that runs around the entire building. The main facade features a small statue of Charles III, crafted by Vergara.
