Town Hall of Oiartzun

Standing in the Elizalde district of Oiartzun, Oiartzun Town Hall was built by Maese Nicolás de Zumeta in 1678. This is a Baroque construction in ashlar masonry, with the square ground plan and hip roof typical of Basque town halls. On the ground floor is a spacious atrium with five arches supporting the principal facade.

The principal north-facing facade with its magnificently carved ashlar blocks has a central balcony flanked by another two on either side. All three have forged iron railings, while on the upper part, on the two extremes of the facade, we can see the valley coat of arms by Laincera father and sons from the province of Cantabria.
