Vast trapezium with all the exterior facades identical, except for the entrance to the east. On each floor, and on the same axis, a arched brick bay has been drilled. A strong cornice crowns the whole. The east facade presents three large round arches opening onto a vast arched porch and each compartment is reinforced by double arches falling on pilasters engaged in the pillar itself. This facade has rectangular openings and is entirely built in ashlar. At the entrance follows a vast central unvaulted store, whose roof rests directly on large diaphragm arches. This room is divided at its center by a series of round arches. All around, from the birth of the great arches, a floor was laid out for the storage of goods. This part has several arched compartments of edges. Further outside, beams reinforced with stones support the unarched second floor, also divided by a series of arches. Access to these different levels is via stairs located at the back of the large room, with the terrace on
