Oviedo City Hall

The municipal headquarters spans three floors and features ornate columns, elaborate carvings, and traditional Spanish baroque architectural elements on its exterior facade.

Juan de Naveda designed the municipal building in 1622, initiating construction that extended through 1623 to create this enduring symbol of civic administration.

The marble lion at the main entrance, originally part of Plaza Mayor's fountain in the early 1800s, represents the connection between municipal power and public spaces.

The building houses essential administrative services for residents, including permit processing, tax collection, and municipal documentation within its three-floor structure.

Following the 1939 restoration, architects integrated modern facilities while maintaining the original baroque features, creating a functional balance between past and present.
