Mayagüez City Hall, Municipal office building in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.
Mayagüez City Hall is a municipal office building with neoclassical design in Puerto Rico that opens onto Colón Main Square. The structure features Corinthian capitals, Greco-Roman columns, and a tower with a clock.
The original building from 1845 was destroyed in the 1918 earthquake, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1926. The reconstruction preserves neoclassical architecture and symbolizes the city's recovery after the disaster.
The building stands on the central square next to the Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria Cathedral, forming the administrative heart of Mayagüez. Both structures define the public life of the city and create a gathering place for residents.
The building sits on the central square and is easy to reach on foot when exploring the downtown core. Its public location makes it simple to view the exterior and use the square as an orientation point.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and officially designated as a historic site in 2003. This dual protection highlights its architectural and cultural importance to the region.
