City Hall Building

It was built in the seventeenth century, although it's undergone several renovations over the years. The building is a simple with elegant lines, shots of stone on pillars and lintels of doors/windows. On the central balcony there's the city coat of arms and a small tower that houses a clock, finished in a campanile. It has 2 levels, the most notable being the portico with arcades on the lower floor, which connects Rua 1 º
