Located in the main square of La Villa and with a facade on Le ny Castillo street, in the central part of the town. The construction occupies an entire block, four facades. Construction very documented in the period from 1806 to 1820. It was built to house the performance of the work of the maker of decimal income, since the introduction of income law, because of the cereal importance of the island, hence its denomination as Cilla of tithe and scoop.

Lanzarote was after the conquest and until the first half of the 19th century an island of Se or o. In addition to income, the neighborhood should contribute to the clergy the tithe, ten percent of the profits obtained in the exploitation of crops and livestock produced in each year. The rented cereals were preserved in these barns called cillas.

On the island of Lanzarote there were 7 cillas remaining, currently that of Teguise and that of the town of T as (current hermitage of San Antonio) restored by Cesar Manrique.
