It is a municipal building that houses the Museo del Pueblo, the Cáñar Music Hall, a rehearsal room, and a multipurpose room.

On its roof, we find the Viewpoint of Africa, inaugurated in 2020, from which we can admire the Rif mountain range in Morocco on the clearest days.

On one side of La Casa del Pueblo we can see a graffiti by the well-known Granada artist El Niño de las Pinturas (@elninodelaspinturas) and Beijaflor (@beijaflortattoo). It is a mural entitled “You are not alone”, created for an Equality project of the City Council of Cáñar.

In the Museo del Pueblo we can find a collection of photos about the most outstanding traditions of the Villa de Cáñar, such as La Música de las Mozuelas or the game of La Pelota, possibly a game originating from a family in the north of Spain that participated in the repopulation of La Alpujarra after the expulsion of the Moors. We also find in the exhibition the mechanism of the first clock of the church tower, from 1883, and a collection of esparto objects from “Pepillo el Bayaquero”.

Outside, next to the entrance door, we find a plaque dedicated to the Pedagogical Missions, a cultural project of the Government of the Second Spanish Republic in which a group of teachers, artists, and intellectuals brought culture to the towns and villages of Spain. In La Alpujarra, in August 1933, they visited 9 towns, Cáñar being the first of them. The services provided were the creation of libraries, musical auditions, cinema projections, theater, a circulating museum with copies of great geniuses of painting…
