Town Hall, 1868-1872

The Town Hall was constructed according to plans drawn up by architect Féliz de Azúa, who conceived a magnificient building in the Neo-Classical style holding on its façades the town´s coat of arma with the symbolic laurel tree and featuring an impressive wrought-iron belfry. The budget for this work was totalled 49,915 pesetas, four times the town´s budget for that year.
To place the Town Hall close to the seafront meant a complete reorganising of Lloret, for it determined the subsequent alignment of splanades and buildings.

The Town Hall stands on one side of the Plaça de la Vila, starting point of Passeig Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer running paralel to the beach front. The promenade is flanked on both sides by lines of majestic pal-trees, beneath which visitors soak up the sun and have a drink at the pavement cafés.
