Brief Description
"Built between 1482 and 1533, this group of buildings was originally used for trading in silk (hence its name, the Silk Exchange) and it has always been a centre for commerce. It is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture. The grandiose Sala de Contratación (Contract or Trading Hall), in particular, illustrates the power and wealth of a major Mediterranean mercantile city in the 15th and 16th centuries."

"该建筑群建于公元1482年至1533年间，原用于丝绸贸易，并因此得名为丝绸交易厅，从此，那里一直都是进行商贸交易的中心。作为哥特式晚期的建筑杰作，宏伟的交易大厅还是公元15世纪至16世纪地中海地区主要商业城市权力和财富的象征。"
