Casa consistorial de Minas de Riotinto

The town hall in Minas de Riotinto is an administrative building featuring British architectural style, distinguished by a classical pediment and slate decorations. It stands on Plaza del Minero and houses the main municipal departments and council meeting rooms.

The building was constructed as part of the El Valle settlement, which the Rio Tinto Company Limited founded during the 1920s. This construction marked the establishment of British industrial presence and administrative systems in the Huelva region.

The building reflects the presence of the British Rio Tinto Company, which shaped the town's development and established its administrative structures here in the early 20th century. Visitors can still see English influences in the architecture and layout today.

The town hall is centrally located and easily reached via Plaza del Minero. As an active administrative center, the exterior can be viewed freely, but access to the interior typically requires official permission or special events.

The building underwent modern restoration in the early 2000s while preserving its original British features. This renovation shows how the town attempts to balance its industrial heritage with contemporary standards.
