The House of Culture of Pego is located in one of the historic buildings of the municipality and is part of the historic center pegoli. Its facilities contain various services that belong to the cultural area of ​​the town, such as the two main museums of the town.

Building history

The building that houses the House of Culture is one of the oldest in Pego. Originally it was a stately home built shortly after the Christian conquest. Its plot appears in the padrón of the town of the year 1488.

The Sala family, one of the richest and most powerful in the town, bought the house in 1675. In this way, they acquired the adjoining plots and added them to the main building. As a way of recognizing the house, the façade contained the family's coat of arms, which is still preserved.

Later, during the Civil War, the Sala family had to flee the municipality and the house was used to shelter refugee children. Finally, it was not until 1990 that the Pego City Council bought the premises to restore the building and turn it into the House of Culture.
