Casa de la Ciutat, Gothic municipal building in Valencia, Spain

The Casa de la Ciudad features multiple halls, including the Sala del Consejo and Hall of Inkstand, with ribbed vaulted roofs throughout the structure.

Constructed in 1302 after King James I of Aragon granted permissions, the building expanded in 1311 under King James II and served as Valencia's municipal headquarters.

The Hall of the Secret Council displayed paintings by Marçal de Sax in 1392, depicting the Last Judgment and celestial themes on its walls.

The structure underwent complete demolition between 1854 and 1860, with administrative functions transferred to the current City Hall location.

A fire in 1423 damaged the Great Hall of the Council, leading to reconstruction efforts that created the Hall of Angels, named for its decorative elements.
