Pego

Ajuntament de Pego

In 1839, the architect Joaquín Cabrera declared the council building to be in a state of ruin and maintained that there was a need to expand the square. In 1842, it was agreed to demolish the old building and build the new Casa de La Vila (that is to say, Town Hall) under the supervision of master builder Francisco Oltra.

By 1848 the building already had a plenary hall. A second phase of work was completed in 1849, consisting of the construction of a communal area or arcade dedicated to the silk market and shops.

The current building is compact, three storeys high, and crowned by an overhang of ceramic tiles. The coat of arms of the town appears on the upper part of the façade and, on the lower part, just above the access arch, the balcony has been preserved, crowned with a balustrade. The building is adapted to the line of the street with an excellent principal structure, a large bay window and neo-baroque aesthetics, which were very common at the time.

At the end of the 20th century, the Town Hall carried out extension works with the purchase of the two adjoining houses, modifying the entire interior layout and placing the entrance door on the main façade, which overlooks the square.
