What to see and visit in Villafranca de Córdoba

Arco del Pósito and Municipal Granary

The Arco del Pósito, dating back to the 18th century, is a brick and masonry structure built to extend the upper floor of the old butcher’s building, which once housed the municipal granary. Since 1747, a statue of Saint Joseph has been venerated inside the arch.

Next to it stands the former Municipal Granary, a grain storage building created to hold cereal during times of abundance. The stored grain was lent to farmers at low interest rates to help them through poor harvests or times of crisis. The original façade is still preserved, and inside you’ll find the coat of arms of the House of Aguilar, which once adorned the exterior.

Today, this historic building is home to one of Villafranca de Córdoba’s most charming taverns.
