Casa do Concello of O Porriño

Casa do Concello is a municipal building in O Porriño featuring granite facades with decorative details positioned at the heart of the town center. The structure combines regional architectural traditions with a distinctive design that occupies its urban setting.

Architect Antonio Palacios Ramilo designed and built this structure between 1919 and 1924, incorporating regional building elements into its design. The project originated from the architect's own initiative without a formal commission beforehand.

The town hall serves as a gathering place where residents come to handle administrative matters and participate in local civic events. It functions as the heart of community life and decision-making for the town.

Visitors can view the building from outside and observe its architectural details from the central square area. The main entrance faces the square and is straightforward to access.

The building emerged from the architect's spontaneous idea without prior planning, allowing for experimental architectural approaches. This unplanned origin enabled unusual design solutions within a confined urban space.
