Maputo City Hall, Government building in Independence Square, Mozambique
The Maputo City Hall displays a 65-meter neoclassical facade with artificial stone construction at the head of Independence Square in downtown Maputo.
Portuguese-Brazilian architect Carlos César dos Santos won the design competition in 1938, leading to the construction of this administrative center from 1941 to 1947.
The municipal building represents Portuguese colonial architecture through its neoclassical design elements and continues to function as the local government headquarters since its inception.
Located in the KaMpfumo district along 24 de Julho Avenue, the City Hall maintains regular office hours for administrative services and municipal operations.
The building features a trapezoidal layout positioned on a hill, creating a central focal point visible from multiple angles along Samora Machel Avenue.
