Košice Town Hall, Baroque town hall in Old Town, Slovakia.

Košice Town Hall is a Late Baroque building that rises on the main square of the Old Town and stands out with a prominent tower top. The facade displays rich stucco decorations and elaborate wall paintings that reflect the craftsmanship of that era.

The Town Hall was founded around 1500 as an administrative center and underwent several rebuildings over the centuries. These changes reflect the different political and cultural periods the city experienced.

The building serves as the seat of city government and shapes the center of the Old Town square with its presence. Residents and visitors perceive it as the heart of public life, where important city matters are decided.

The building can be visited on guided tours that offer insights into city history and allow climbing the tower. The view from the tower shows the entire Old Town and surrounding landscape, making orientation easier.

The Town Hall was the first building in Europe to receive its own coat of arms, gaining a significant heraldic honor. This privilege underscores its standing as the principal administrative building and its special status among European town halls.
