The Salt Warehouses (Alfolí de la Sal) in L'Escala were built in 1697 and, besides storing salt, also housed a customs office and a fishing association headquarters. By the decree of King Philip II, this location had a monopoly on storing salt in Empordà—from here, salt was transported to other villages and towns of the Costa Brava.

The Salt Warehouses today are a cultural centre with a small museum and an event space for exhibitions and concerts.
