On 11th April 1919 the Town Council took possession of what was to become the Town Hall, and still is to the present day. The new building, the work of architects Guerrero Strachan and Manuel Rivera Vera, was to satisfy a double need: on one hand that of responding to the increasing administrative demands of a growing city and, on the other, that of projecting a renewed image of prestige and progress. The construction project not only contemplated a new Town Hall, but also a Provincial Court and the Courts of First Instance. The building is situated on one of the city's main communication arteries, the Paseo del Parque where it constitutes an additional decorative element, given its character as an artistic monument, represented both by the beauty of its façades and the decoration in the interior, which transmits an air of prestige.
