Town hall of Granada, Municipal building in Plaza del Carmen, Spain
The Granada Town Hall occupies a former Carmelite monastery at Plaza del Carmen with a neoclassical facade. A Tuscan colonnade surrounds the central courtyard, framing the interior space.
The building functioned as a Carmelite monastery until 1836, when it was partially demolished during the Mendizábal Disentailment. It was converted into the city hall in 1858.
The entrance hall contains large sculptures of the Catholic Monarchs Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. These statues commemorate the Spanish unification period through visual display.
The main entrance is located on Plaza del Carmen and opens during regular business hours. Check ahead about which areas are open to public access before visiting.
The preserved cloister features Tuscan columns supporting semicircular arches that frame the inner courtyard. The presidential balcony on the upper floor rests on four carved stone brackets that often go unnoticed.
