In 1388, Juan I de Aragón created a "consulate of the sea" aimed at regulating and favoring Perpignan's business, essentially based on maritime commerce. In 1397 the first sea market is built in the Gothic style. Then it only counts four arches that will be extended by two similar ones in 1540, two years after the triumphal entry of Carlos V in Perpignan. A commemorative plaque embedded between the two new arcades is witness to this widening: «gloriously reigning in Spain, Carlos Quinto, Emperor of Rome, as well as the honorable consuls of the sea Honrat Fomer, bourgeois, and Francesc Matas, merchant, the other part was realized, the year 1540 of the Christian redemption ».
In the 18th century, the Marshal of Mailly, governor of Roussillon, transformed the fish market into a theater, becoming a post after the French Revolution. Finally, in 1841, the town hall of Perpignan recovered the building and in 1842, the coffee of France was installed there. The copy of the old flag of angle, symbol of the maritime commerce of the town, was fixed in this period.
Since the Middle Ages, the Plaza de la Lonja occupies the vital center of Perpignan with the presence of the different local powers: the Merchants' Exchange or Lonja del Mar, the House of the Villa and the Palace of the Diputación.
