The majestic Alicante Town Hall is an architectural gem from the 18th century, built on the site of the old Town Hall by architect Lorenzo Chapuli. Its impressive facade, with elegant Solomonic columns and two towers overlooking the square, invites visitors to explore a place full of history. Inside, you will find unique spaces like the elegant Isabeline-style Blue Room, the solemn Plenary Hall, and a chapel. Visiting Alicante’s Town Hall is not just about learning its history but also immersing yourself in the cultural essence of the city.
When you visit the Baroque Town Hall of Alicante, don’t miss a very special feature: the Cota Cero (Zero Level). Located on the first step of the staircase, this point marks sea level altitude. In the 19th century, engineers chose this spot because the sea level on Alicante’s coast was very stable, with minimal variations between high and low tide. This is where the NP1 marker was created, which you can still see today. We invite you to discover this historic detail. Plus, next to the Cota Cero, you’ll find a sculpture by Salvador Dali. Don’t miss it!
This exhibition space will take you on a journey to explore Alicante’s oldest secrets. Located beneath the modern annex of the Town Hall, it reveals archaeological remains dating from the Middle Ages to modern times. Here, you can see how the different cultures that lived in the city over the centuries left their mark. From Islamic walls to traces of 16th-century urban planning, this exhibition offers a unique glimpse into Alicante’s past and a special experience for history lovers!
