The current Town Hall occupies a 17th-century building located on Calle Fuente del Arca. Original use: It was built as stables and warehouses for the Duke of Osuna, one of the most influential noble families of the time. In 1953, the City Council acquired the building to house the Town Hall. Renovation: It was restored in 1992 (other sources indicate 1998) to adapt it to its current use as the municipal headquarters and library on the upper floor.
