El Ayuntamiento.

The Hôtel de Ville houses the adminstration for municipality, hosts large receptions and is the mayor's official residence.m The 16th century building was destroyed by fire in 1871 but was rebuilt in the earlier style.

  1. Sheila, Thanks you for the suggestion for The Armchair Traveler. I look forward to your posting each day as I make my e-card rounds. I get to take a few minutes for beauty in a busy day.
