Paços do Concelho (Figueira da Foz)
The building of the Paços do Concelho in the Portuguese coastal town of Figueira da Foz is the seat of the Câmara Municipal , the town hall.
It was built in 1897 by the Italian architects Cesare Ianz and Giuseppe Fiorentini . The interior was designed by Ernesto Korrodi , who decorated the ballroom, the Salão nobre , with elaborate stucco work . The oil paintings are also worth mentioning, for example Aparição da Virgem do Carmelo a Simão Stock by Pedro Alexandrino , and the portraits by Manuel Fernandes Tomás ( painted by Gilberto Renda ) and by António dos Santos Rocha , an unknown artist.
The front of the building faces south, on the Avenida Saraiva de Carvalho , which runs along Mondego , and is crowned by a city coat of arms. To the west, the building closes the row of houses on Avenida with a facade that is almost equal to its front, with a view to the right to Praça 8 de Maio and to the left to the city's marina .
The building has been listed as Imóvel de Interest Municipal since 2005.
To this day it is the seat of the city administration and part of its citizen services.
