Casa Consistorial de Tarazona, Renaissance town hall in Plaza Mayor, Tarazona, Spain.
The Casa Consistorial de Tarazona is a Renaissance town hall with three stories, featuring stone arches, balconies, and elaborate ornamental details across its monumental facade. The ground floor opens through a rounded arch, and above it rise the upper levels decorated with various carved elements.
Construction began in 1563 when the building first served as a marketplace and grain storage facility. In the 17th century, it was converted into the official town hall, a function it continues today.
The building displays religious and secular power through its decorations: a relief on the upper floor shows Pope Clement VII and Emperor Charles V together. The carving emphasizes the town's connection to both church and imperial authority.
The town hall sits in Plaza Mayor and is easy to view from outside, where its facade displays all main features. Access to the interior is through the rounded arch at ground level, where the building operates as the administrative center.
The second floor contains mythological figures of Hercules and Cacus placed between the balconies. These carvings alongside imperial, Aragonese, and local heraldic shields reflect the multiple levels of power connected to this location.
