Juzgado de la Paz
The building that houses the Juzgado de la Paz (Justice of the Peace Court) is one of the town’s most emblematic buildings. It began operating on 21st February 1925, when the Sierra Nevada Tramway opened. It remained operational for almost 50 years, until the railway line closed due to the construction of the Canales reservoir, which would flood more than five kilometres of the track. The last trip took place on 19th January 1974. In 1977, the railway company FEVE, Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha (Narrow-Gauge Railways), donated the land and the old tram station to the City Council, which used it as a recreational centre for the elderly and as a municipal library. In 1984, remodelling works at the station was completed, columns were built, and the building was converted into a Municipal Library, along with the senior centre and a cafeteria. In 1998, the library was extended with the construction of a portico to the area to accommodate a giant chessboard for public use. On 3rd June 2005, the old railway station was converted into the Justice of the Peace Court. Located on Carretera Sierra.
