Justice in the Middle Ages and in the Modern Age

In the 18th century the building changed: the door was moved to the eastern side (current location), the hole was closed with a window and a new one was opened (both with bars), the roof of the ground floor was replaced by vaults, and above Small artillery pieces were placed in the defense loopholes.

In the 19th century, the prison was used sporadically by prisoners in transit to the prison in the capital. The discontinuous use of the property generated damage and periodic needs for repairs.

In the 20th century, the prison no longer fulfilled any original function. The building was abandoned and was used as a stockyard until a few decades ago.

In the 21st century, the recovery of the place began to give it new museum uses. Its interior is cleaned and excavated, the roof is waterproofed and consolidated and the space is enabled for public visits as one more room of the Oropesa Museum.
