Antigua City Hall (Palacio del Ayuntamiento)

Constructed in 1743, Antigua City Hall, also known as Palacio del Ayuntamiento, originally functioned as the seat of the Spanish colonial government and housed an 80-person jail. Located in the heart of Antigua, Guatemala, the building now serves as the city’s administrative center and is home to the Museo del Libro and the Museo de Santiago. The hall’s two-story façade, adorned with a double layer of stone archways and Tuscan-style columns, stands out as a visually striking feature. Visitors can explore the historical significance and cultural exhibits within its walls.
