Algeciras Town Hall, Municipal government building in Algeciras, Spain.
Algeciras Town Hall is a two-story structure with a sandstone and red brick facade located at 12 Calle Alfonso XI in the city center. Inside, two central courtyards divide the interior layout, while the spaces house the Mayor's office, administrative departments, and various public services.
The building was completed in 1897 by architect Amadeo Rodriguez, providing a permanent home for city administration after the town gained independence from San Roque in 1755. A modernist extension on the left side added in the late 20th century expanded the structure to meet growing administrative needs.
The plenary hall displays decorative tiles in yellow and blue with mosaics showing local landmarks, honoring the 1906 conference that shaped regional politics. These artistic elements reflect how deeply that event remains part of the city's identity.
The building is easy to locate in central Algeciras on a main street with clear signage. Visitors should come during regular business hours and note that some interior areas may have restricted public access.
The building served as a venue for regional discussions and negotiations that shaped early 20th-century politics in the area. Its architecture blends elements from different time periods, reflecting how the city evolved across multiple generations.
