Description

The Llibre de la Cadena is the document in which the ordinances of the town were collected that regulated practically all aspects of the population and reflected the day-to-day needs of the neighborhood. It is a legal source of the first order, a compendium of local law, an expression of the regulation of the life and customs of the town and an essential element to know the collective history well from the first moments of the municipality’s life.
