Exterior of the Alenyà's Palace

Construction
14th century but with the passing of time it has suffered several modifications.

Architectural features
Main façade made of finely worked ashlar stone, featuring a large semicircular arched doorway with prominent voussoirs and slender tripartite windows with built-in stone benches. On the lower level of the palace, a series of arcades form a central square that outlines the original building, where the old wine vats and a fragment of the burnt coffered ceiling are preserved. The upper part houses a porticoed gallery from the 16th century and an elongated noble hall where part of the original polychrome medieval coffered ceiling can still be seen. The hall is presided over by an original mural by Ismael Balanyà, created by Ismael Porta i Balanyà.

History
Originally it belonged to Alenyà family, then to the Conesa family and finally to the Aguiló family. In 1822 there was a great fire and because of this it is also known as "the Aguiló burnt house". The building has been restored because due to the different uses it was in very bad conditions. At present it is the seat of the Consell Comarcal de la Conca de Barberà, the county council.
