About
emojis 🏛️ Málaga City Hall occupies the historic Casa Consistorial, an elegant neo-baroque building with modernist touches designed by local architects Fernando Guerrero Strachan and Manuel Rivera Vera and inaugurated in 1919. Located on Avenida de Cervantes, between Málaga Park and the Puerta Oscura gardens, it is one of the city’s great architectural landmarks. ✨ Outside, the monumental façades stand out with their towers, clocks and allegorical sculptures, as well as the main staircase framed by tall palm trees and lush gardens. The building is listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest, underlining its historic and artistic value within Málaga’s heritage. 🎨 The interior is just as impressive: the grand marble staircase is lit by stained-glass windows that depict key episodes in Málaga’s history, while the Council Chamber and the Hall of Mirrors display painted ceilings, crystal chandeliers and portraits of notable local figures. These spaces host council meetings, official receptions and institutional events. 👥 As well as being the administrative heart of the city, Málaga City Hall often offers guided tours during working hours, especially to the Hall of Mirrors and other noble rooms. It is advisable to check the official tourism or city council website beforehand to confirm times and availability.
