Pósito Granary

Explanation:
I'd be tempted to leave it as is, but add the translation:
the Plaza del Pósito (Granary) or Ethnological Museum (assuming the museum is dedicated to life in days of yore). These museums usually show costumes, farming implements, household utensils, and possibly an example of dwellings in past centuries.
