Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Logroño)

4 reviews of Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Logroño)

Architecture and Everyday Life

Lots of architects come to see the Ayuntamiento de Logroño (City Hall), “it has become very famous”, they tell me in one of the bars in Laurel Street. Outside of the old part of town, the city hall of Logroño doesn’t appear in the guide books, but many locals recommend walking there to see it: passing the Muro de Cervantes, seeing the beautiful façade (in the picture) of the Escuela Superior de Diseño (design school) and continuing on Avenida de la Paz, we reach the big plaza with the city hall. “A unique example to know and understand the Spanish civil architecture of the lat years; constructed over the building of ancient headquarters, on the continuation of the old city and open to the eastern urban expansion of new Logroño”, they explain on the website.


It is the work of Rafael Moneo, built in the seventies and today it’s part of the daily life of the people of Logroño: there is a school behind it, and the square is the meeting point for parents and kids and the end of the school day. Instead of encountering tourists drinking wine, you can see kids playing football. Isn’t it nice to get of the established routes?

More details: the building is beautiful seeing from the air (and if you can’t do it, here is a link that will allow you to appreciate it 'https://wikirioja.com/images/2/26/aytologronoaire.jpg,' and if you feel you’re in Salamanca, it’s normal: they use the same stone in Salamanca’s historical downtown).

It is architecturally interesting and kind to tourists, if you feel like discovering something beyond the guide books. And it’s recommended by the local people!
