The first building was built in 1845 but was destroyed by the earthquake of 1918.[1] The original building housed the municipal offices, a jail, a telegraph station and the guard corps.[2] The current city hall was built in 1926. Its main entrance consists of a portico and a tower with a clock.[1] Its façade is of the neoclassical style, classified as such because of the building's Corinthian capitals and its grecoroman columns.[1] The architects were Carmoega and the Ing. Font Jiménez, it was built by Ignacio Flowers Lorenzo, and Adriano González was the contractor of the work.[1] The mayor that ordered the new city hall was Juan Rullán Rivera.[3] Numerous parlors, rooms, offices and other services are situated in the building.[1]
