Ayuntamiento de Cadiz (Cadiz City Hall), Cadiz

The current City Hall of Cádiz was built in 1799 on the foundations and location of the previous Town Halls and is the result of two stages: the first, neoclassical, begun in 1799 by Torcuato Benjumeda, and a second corresponding to the Elizabethan style, the work of García del Álamo in 1861 and that would affect the interiors. In 1936 the Andalusian flag was hoisted for the first time.
