Ayuntamiento de Manila

The Ayuntamiento de Manila stands at the intersection of Andrés Soriano Avenue and Cabildo Street, facing Plaza de Roma with white marble facade features.

Constructed in 1599, the building underwent multiple reconstructions after earthquakes and World War II damage, serving as Manila's administrative center through Spanish and American rule.

The structure exemplifies Spanish colonial architecture with wrought-iron balconies, covered arcades, and a central clock tower representing Philippine governmental heritage.

The Bureau of Treasury occupies the building, which underwent a complete reconstruction in 2013 at a cost of 1.2 billion Philippine pesos.

Known as the Marble Palace, this building hosted the signing of agreements transferring power from Spanish to American authorities after the Spanish-American War.
