The Town Hall


The Town Hall of Jaca dates from 1486.This building still preserves the historical part of the most important Municipal Archive of Jaca.
It was constructed by Juan de Rosellet. It is a great plateresque style façade. Five windows decorated with the bars of Aragón form the second floor. A gallery of typically Aragonese arches constituted the last and most recent contribution to the buiding.
Inside you find the "Room of the Ciento" which comnmemorates the Council of Ciento, formed by one hundred good men who were helping to govern the city from 1212.
