Mazarrón Town Hall

During the 19^th and 20^th centuries, Mazarrón underwent an economic revival, linked to the recovery of the mining and metallurgical industries. This was a golden age for town planning, and numerous buildings were constructed in Mazarrón representative of the architecture associated with this period of prosperity. One such building is the Town Hall, designed by the arquitects Francisco Ródenas, who began the proyect in 1889, and Francisco de Paula Oliver Rolandi, who continued the works from 1891 onwards and who also later designed the Town Hall of Cartagena. The building has three storeys and a cellar, and its most noteworthy features are on the first floor, in the Plenary Hall with its rich, ornamental decoration including period coffered ceilings, walls, curtains and furniture. An unusual and very beautiful zinc pavilion embellishes the outside of the building, which has been declared a Monument of Cultural interest.
