In 1764 the Castellarnau family, one of the most influential noble families of the city, bought three houses in Cavallers street and commissioned Barcelonan architect Josep Prat i Delorta the design of the current building, which incorporates structural elements of earlier buildings. The ground floor exhibits archaeological and ethnographic pieces belonging to municipal collections. Also noteworthy is the old kitchen and the courtyard whose main staircase leads to the main floor. This floor displays living rooms, bedrooms, the dining room and other rooms, all with furniture from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but among the most interesting is the ballroom, whose ceiling is decorated with paintings of mythological themes.
