Ponce City Hall, Municipal government building at Plaza las Delicias in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The Ponce City Hall presents a symmetrical Neoclassical Isabelino design with five bays across two stories and a prominent clock on its front facade.
Construction of this governmental structure began in 1844 under Mayor Salvador de Vives, with Francisco Gil Capó directing the engineering and architectural design until 1847.
The building received visits from four United States presidents, with Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin Roosevelt delivering speeches from its front balcony.
The municipal offices inside the building include the mayor's headquarters and administrative spaces, with two internal courtyards connected by an extensive stairway.
Former jail cells within the structure now serve as office spaces, and the courtyard was the location of the last public execution by hanging in Puerto Rico.
