Gijón City Hall

Gijón City Hall, City hall in Cimadevilla, Gijón, Spain

Gijón City Hall is an administrative building in the city center, designed by Andrés Coello with classical architectural features. The structure houses municipal departments and serves as the core of local government operations.

Gijón's council decided in 1858 to build a proper town hall and Plaza Mayor, commissioning Andrés Coello; Luis Céspedes and Lucas María Palacios later revised the plans. Work began on 21 July 1861 and the building was nearly finished by mid-1865. Miguel García de la Cruz reworked the roof and interior in 1925–1927, and a full renovation by FCC reopened it on 24 August 2002.

Civil weddings are held in the building, and the plenary hall seats the 27 councillors of the seven groups that make up the Junta de Gobierno Local. The clock and the city coat of arms above it on the main facade are the elements residents look for when arranging to meet at the Plaza Mayor entrance.

The building sits in the center of the city and is easy to reach on foot from nearby areas. Visitors can access municipal services during weekday hours, though some departments may have limited availability.

The clock on the main facade is crowned by Gijón's city coat of arms, the only element breaking the sober lines of the cubic volume. The building's eastern facade faces San Lorenzo beach, while the southern one looks onto the old municipal fish market.
