"O edificio ten 630 m2 de superficie, distribuídos en dúas plantas e un torreón. Dous escudos mostran os brasóns dás familias Correa, Sotomayor e Troncoso de Lira, que tamén habitaron a casa. Entre ámbolos dous, o Concello colocou o escudo da vila existente no antigo consistorio.
En 1942 o Concello de Baiona adquiriu o inmoble para convertela en Casa consistorial.

No edificio se utiliza a pedra para os recercados dos vans e os elementos estructurais da edificación, mentres que o resto está encalados.
Na pranta baixa detaca un portalón con arco de crucería deprimido. Dela parte unha escaleira abalaustrada que leva ata o primeiro andar.
Dende o segundo andar pódese ascender á torre almeada, situada á esquerda da fachada principal.

A edificación foi mandada facer por D. Lorenzo Correa, fidalgo do Val Miñor que estivo en terras mexicanas, onde exerceu os cargas de alcalde maoir de Cuernavaca e administrador do Lid de Galos. Ao seu regreso, no ano 1756, mandou facer este pazo, que se rematou 3 anos despois."

"The building has 630 m2 of surface, distributed over two floors and a tower. Two coats of arms show the coats of arms of the Correa, Sotomayor and Troncoso de Lira families, who also lived in the house. Between the two, the Council placed the existing town shield in the old town hall.
In 1942 the Baiona City Council acquired the property to turn it into a Town Hall.

In the building, stone is used for the recesses of the bays and the structural elements of the building, while the rest is whitewashed.
On the ground floor there is a portal with a depressed cross arch. A balustraded staircase leads from it to the first floor.
From the second floor you can go up to the crenellated tower, located to the left of the main facade.

The building was commissioned by Mr. Lorenzo Correa, nobleman of the Val Miñor who was in Mexican lands, where he held the positions of Mayor of Cuernavaca and administrator of the Lid de Galos. On his return, in 1756, he had this palace built, which was completed 3 years later."
