Why go
The Town Hall makes a compact architectural stop between the old town and waterfront. Twin towers frame a restrained Baroque façade, while the staircase's Cota Cero marks the historic reference for measuring elevation in Spain. Beneath the annex, archaeological remains extend the story back through medieval and early-modern Alicante.
What to look for
- The symmetrical Baroque façade and twin towers define Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
- Cota Cero on the staircase records the historic national sea-level reference.
- The archaeological display beneath the annex preserves earlier layers of the city.
Useful to know
- Check current public access before relying on an interior visit; the façade and square remain worthwhile outside.
- Allow 30 to 45 minutes if both the main building and archaeological remains are accessible.
- Continue toward the Explanada, Basilica of Santa María or MACA to keep the route compact.
