City Hall | Old Palace of the Counts of Castellar

Descripción

On the site where the old Palace House of the Counts of Castellar was built, is currently located the Town Hall of El Viso del Alcor, whose construction began in the nineties of the last century, ending in 2007. At the end of the 70s of the twentieth century, prior to the arrival of democracy, the original building was demolished in its entirety.

The original building was used for different purposes before its total destruction. In addition to being the residence of the lords of the Villa and their dependents, it served as a residence for a brief period of time for the newly arrived Mercedarian friars in the 17th century. Already in the 20th century, it was home to Trinitarian nuns from 1914 to 1926 (as the Trinitarian Sisters themselves mentioned, their mission was to make young women industrious, inclined to virtue and work, that is to say, women of profit) and theatres, housing women’s schools. At the beginning of the Civil War, from July 1936, it also served as a prison depot for prisoners and those people considered not supporters of Franco’s coup d’état.

This two-story building, which houses most of the municipal services, is located in the heart of the town.
