Old Town, Coruna,

A Coruña's City Hall is an imposing historic building in the heart of the Old Town that houses the municipal government. Designed by the city's then chief architect, Pedro Mariño, it was built between 1908 and 1912 in response to the city's growth and the desire for a more dignified seat of administration. An outstanding example of monumental eclectic architecture in Galicia, the building impresses with its strictly symmetrical stone façade. You can admire the arcades on the ground floor, the evenly spaced window openings, and the three domed towers that give the building its distinctive, commanding presence.
