Paço dos Távoras, Town hall in Mirandela, Portugal
The Paço dos Távoras stands at the highest point of Mirandela, with its grand Baroque facade overlooking the Rio Tua and Ponte Velha bridge.
The building originated from a medieval tower dating to 1282, later transformed into a noble residence through extensive renovations commissioned by Marquês António Luís de Távora in 1709.
The coat of arms displayed on the upper section underwent changes in 1863 when the original Távora family symbols were replaced with those of the Counts of São Vicente.
The three-floor structure currently serves as Mirandela's municipal headquarters, housing administrative offices and regular chamber sessions for local governance functions.
Local records mention a hidden well on the property that, according to regional accounts, contains treasures from the Távora family era.
