The complex also houses the Culture and Sciences Mayoralty, the Municipal Ballet School, the Municipal Theatre, the Municipal Puppet Troupe, the Puppet Doll Museum, and the Grain and Flour Museum.The mill's imposing facade evokes memories of the past, connecting the present with the city's historical growth.
