Courthouse
In July 1871 an agreement was reached to erect a building to be the seat of the Territorial court. Designed by Castile and León architect David Ruiz Jareño, construction did not start until 1878 and after some budget problems the building was completed on January 22, 1887.[3]
During the renovation from 2007 to 2011 the courthouse was temporarily moved to the court buildings in the civic centre of San Juan. The renovations were completed In 2012.[3]
It shares the building with the Provincial Audience of Boroughs.
