Casas Consistoriales
Casas Consistoriales stands opposite the cathedral with a sober neoclassical façade, a rusticated stone base and nine portico openings. Built between 1842 and 1855 after fire destroyed the former sixteenth-century town hall, the building opened in 1856.
Inside, a Canarian-style patio with wooden galleries and arches leads towards the principal staircase, where paintings and sculpture line the walls. Around 90 canvases fill the rooms and corridors, including Inmigrantes, displayed on the staircase since 1909. The meeting room holds Manolo Millares’s arpilleras, while the restored Salón Dorado hosts municipal debates.
Historic theatre seats and Isabeline consoles preserve traces of civic life, alongside guided visits, cultural events in the patio and monthly municipal sessions. The clearest detail is the central patio, where timber arches frame daylight at the heart of the building.
