O actual edifício da Câmara Municipal do Porto, em Portugal, foi projectado pelo Arq. Correia da Silva e começou a ser construído em 1920.
O projecto surgiu na sequência do plano de expansão do centro cívico elaborado pelo arquitecto inglês Barry Parker, aprovado em 1916. A concretização deste plano levou à expansão para norte da Praça da Liberdade, abrindo-se a Avenida dos Aliados e a actual Praça do General Humberto Delgado.
Apesar de ter sido iniciado em 1920, as obras do edifício dos paços do concelho sofreram inúmeras interrupções, tendo sido introduzidas alterações ao projecto inicial, pelo Arq. Carlos Ramos. Os serviços camarários só se instalaram no novo edifício em 1957.

The current City Hall of Porto, in Portugal, was designed by architect Correia da Silva and began construction in 1920.
The project arose as a result of the expansion of the civic center designed by English architect Barry Parker, approved in 1916. The implementation of this plan led to the expansion to the north of Liberty Square, opening up the Avenue of the Allies and the current Square General Humberto Delgado.
Although it was started in 1920, works in the building of the town hall suffered numerous interruptions, changes were introduced to the original project, by architect Carlos Ramos. The municipal services are only installed in the new building in 1957.
