The Town Hall in the Plaza Mayor of Yecla

A 16^th century building is home to the Town Hall of Yecla

The main Town Hall building in Yecla is the building formerly known as the Concejo in the Plaza Mayor, the main square of the old town centre which also contains the tourist information office, the clock tower, the old grain store and the Palacio de los Alarcos.

The Town Hall building dates from the first half of the 16^th century, and features a classical stone façade punctuated by two wide arches on Tuscan columns. Between the two columns is the imperial coat of arms of Carlos V, including the two-headed eagle.

Other interesting decorative items are the corner window and the sculpted figure of Hercules above it, dressed in the skin of the lion of Nemea and holding a shield decorated with a skull motif. Inside there is an attractive courtyard, and the adjoining tower, which stands between the Concejo and the Palacio de los Alarcos, was added in 1687.
