Why go

Its carved ornament and monumental scale show how provincial government expressed power at the turn of the twentieth century. Compare the exterior with nearby commercial buildings while following Gran Vía; interior access is a separate matter to check locally. Its ornament is best read from across the street.

What to look for

  • The 1900 council hall by Luis Aladrén has an ornate eclectic façade on Gran Vía.

Useful to know

  • View the Gran Vía façade from the opposite side of the street; check separately before planning an interior visit.
