Auditorio Municipal
El inmueble que actualmente alberga el Auditorio Municipal se utilizó con fines religiosos al formar parte del templo de La Santísima. La edificación data del siglo XIX y se ha ocupado para diversas actividades a lo largo de su historia, por lo que ha tenido algunas modificaciones y adecuaciones, consta de un sólo nivel de construcción, con muros de mampostería de piedra volcánica, unida con cal. Uno de los usos más importantes fue el de la educación en el siglo XIX, cuando el terreno fue cedido para evitar que los alumnos recibieran clases en una casa particular, por lo que fue habilitado como aula. En el año 2019, fue rehabilitado para promover la cultura y actualmente el recinto es utilizado como un espacio de convivencia para las expresiones culturales y artisticas de esta ciudad.

In 2019, it was rehabilitated to promote culture and today the venue is used as a space of coexistence for the cultural and artistic expressions of this city.
