Edifício dos Paços do Concelho (Town Hall)

This is a large building in a sixteenth-century style, entirely made in calcareous of Ançã, which plant forms actually a closed quadrilateral, involving several wings that surround a courtyard uncovered (Cloister).
Inside, it has a courtyard with two superposed floors: the ground floor has a gallery with seven vaulted spans, decorated with over crossing nervures, corbels and Renaissance keystones, finding in one of them the legend ?ESTA OBRA / SE F(E)Z NO / ANO DE 1553?(this work was made in the year of 1553); the upper floor has a colonnade of Ionic order, typical of the late Renaissance of the Castilian school of Coimbra.

Monday to Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 6 p.m

The building receives city council sessions since 1805, but the municipal headquarters were only and definitively fixed there at the end of that century.
