The Baroque town hall on the Plaza Mayor, from the project of Jaime Bort, who had already died when work began in 1760. Lorenzo de Santa María directed it and finished it at the end of 1762: the front has three floors, an open arcade that lets the main street pass through to the square and an attic with a lion. It is still the seat of the city council.
