Town hall of Ponferrada, Baroque town hall in Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Ponferrada, Spain.
The town hall of Ponferrada is a public building on Plaza del Ayuntamiento with two towers topped by Austrian-style spires. The central facade features a continuous balcony with iron railings that runs across the entire structure.
Construction took place between 1692 and 1705 under architect Pedro de Arén, with various stonework masters contributing to the project. This building project fundamentally shaped the appearance of the city's central plaza.
The building displays baroque design elements with detailed stonework and column-supported balconies resting on corbels. These ornamental features make it a notable example of architecture from its era.
The plaza in front of the building is directly accessible from the old town and offers a central meeting point for exploring the city center. The building itself is freely accessible from the outside, with municipal services available on weekdays.
The city coat of arms is displayed on both towers of the building and serves as a distinctive identifying mark. This connection to local identity is visible even from a distance and makes the structure immediately recognizable.
