The building was constructed in 1877 by Francisco Villalonga. No expense was spared in its construction; after it was built, and to silence the rumors that he had gone bankrupt, he placed a legal tender coin in each of the two hundred iron nails that hold the winery door.

He turned it into a clinic specializing in tuberculosis and stomach diseases, which brought him great renown in the region. Local Authors.
