La Plata City Hall, Beaux-Arts city hall in La Plata, Argentina.

La Plata City Hall occupies a 14,400 m² site between streets 51, 53, 11 and 12, facing Moreno Plaza opposite the cathedral. Designed by Hubert Stier with Ernesto Meyer, it is an eclecticist building based on German Renaissance Revival architecture, with Romanesque interiors, two courtyards and a clock tower. The tower holds an English Gillette clock made in 1878, moved here in 1886, with a 300-piece mechanism.

The building was completed in 1888 when La Plata was being established as the new capital of Buenos Aires Province. This followed the relocation of the provincial government from Buenos Aires city to La Plata in 1880.

The Salón Dorado, reached by a grand marble staircase, mixes Roman, German, Greek and French influences. Its bronze chandeliers hold 78 lamps and were the first in Argentina wired for electricity; the large window seen from outside belongs to the winter room.

The building sits at the center of La Plata and is easy to reach on foot, especially when exploring the city's main squares and streets. Visitors can photograph it from outside and access the grounds, but check opening times and access requirements beforehand if you want to go inside.

The bronze chandeliers in the Salón Dorado hold 78 lamps and weigh 1,200 kg together. They were the first in Argentina wired for electric power, and the room's floor is Slovenian oak beneath German stained glass.
