Town hall and jail of Mazaleón

The town hall is a building constructed in the 16th century, symbolising the rise of municipal power over the old medieval order. It was designed following the model of the Renaissance town halls of the comarca and housed a "lonja" for the market and leisure, a jail, a meeting room and other municipal functions. The original entrance to this building was the one that currently leads to the cells.

In the 18th century, specifically in 1742, a significant extension was carried out that included the addition of an extra arch in the lonja, the covering of the street and the construction of a new building to the right, along with a new main façade. Inside, an oratory with an image of Santo Cristo was installed, which unfortunately has not survived to the present day.

In the late 1920s of the 20th century, a renovation gave rise to a full council chamber and administrative offices in a Modernist style. In the 1980s, an interior renovation was carried out and the façade was restored, having been decorated in the 19th century with an allegorical mural commemorating the Constitución de Cádiz de 1812.

The tile bearing the name "casas consistoriales" in the plural refers to the confluence in this location of three public buildings of municipal ownership: the town hall, the house of the brotherhood (cofradía) of San Miguel y Santa Lucía, dating from the 17th century, and the Casa del Alguacil, which was demolished at the end of the 20th century. These historic buildings have significant importance in the life of the municipality and its local administration.
