Old City Hall, Neoclassical city hall in Gornji Grad, Croatia.

The Old City Hall consists of three connected buildings featuring symmetrical facades, large columns, and architectural elements characteristic of 19th-century municipal structures.

The original structure from the 15th century transformed into a municipal complex in 1787, containing eight rooms, three jails, two shops, and administrative spaces.

The building housed the first Croatian opera performance of 'Love and Malice' by Vatroslav Lisinski on March 28, 1846.

The ground floor contains the Kristofor Stanković Art Gallery, while the upper floors maintain spaces for city assembly sessions and administrative offices.

Nikola Tesla delivered a presentation in this building in 1892, proposing an electric street light system powered by a hydroelectric plant.
