The Town Hall is situated at one end of the Praza Maior and is regarded as one of the most important examples of Galician civil Baroque architecture. It was designed by Lucas Ferro Caaveiro and built in 1738. It comprises two storeys: the ground floor features arcades defined by ten strong semicircular arches – eight at the front and two at the sides – whilst the first floor has two large balconies supported by beautiful corbels. The façade is symmetrically divided by a central pilaster which serves as a visual support for the large royal coat of arms that presides over it; at either end are two small square towers, and beneath them, forming the corners, is the city’s coat of arms, all carved from finely worked granite. The clock tower was added in 1871. The Praza Maior was established in the 19th century, following the Confiscation of Church Property and the abolition of the episcopal lordship, to emphasise the City Council’s leading role during the liberal era, and today it remains the symbolic and vital centre of the city. Notable among its buildings are the Círculo de las Artes, the former Seminary of San Lorenzo (now a Franciscan school), the porticoed houses, the bandstand and the monument to Luís Pimentel, Lugo’s great poet.
