Town hall in Žilina, Municipal administrative center in Mariánske námestie square, Žilina, Slovakia.

Žilina's town hall is an administrative building featuring a distinctive octagonal tower on Mariánske námestie square. The structure stands among Renaissance-era burgher houses with arcades, forming a coherent row of connected historical facades.

The building dates back to the medieval period and has undergone multiple renovations over the centuries. Its current appearance was established during a major renovation in 1890 that reflected architectural trends of that era.

The town hall sits at the heart of Žilina's main square, surrounded by Renaissance-era burgher houses with arcades that shape the medieval character of the city center. This location makes it the natural focal point and gathering place for public life in town.

The building is easy to locate from the square and serves as a clear reference point for orientation in the city center. The public accessibility of its exterior allows visitors to view the architecture and tower from different vantage points.

The building houses historical documents, including the Žilinská kniha from 1378. This collection contains the first known written record in the Slovak language.
