Edificio antiguo Concello - Vigo, Pontevedra, Galicia, España - Famous Fires on Waymarking.com

glg: "O edificio , con fachadas ás prazas da Constitución e Princesa , ocupa o solar dunha casa consistorial máis antiga que arde en 1851. As obras comezaron a finais de 1860 e remataron en xuño de 1862. As fachadas Incorporan un eclecticismo inicial de formulación austera e sobria , que combina con con tención elementos da tradición clasicista , sen lograr liberarse totalmente da norma académica . En cada planta mantén un mesmo esquema compositivo con zócolo , pilastras e falso entaboamento , aínda que coa ornamentación se diferenza cada planta , en especial a primeira que acolle o balcón da alcaldía . O inmoble é hoxe sede da " Casa Galega da Cultura " e da " Fundación Penzol Foi restaurado hai poucos anos ."

eng: "The building, with facades to the squares of the Constitution and Princess, occupies the site of an older town hall that burned down in 1851. Work began in late 1860 and was completed in June 1862. The facades incorporate an initial eclecticism of austere and sober formulation , which carefully combines elements of the classicist tradition, without being able to completely free itself from the academic norm. In each plant it maintains the same compositional scheme with plinth, pilasters and false entablature, although with the ornamentation each plant is different, especially the first one that welcomes the balcony of the mayorship. The property is now home to the "Galician House of Culture" and the "Penzol Foundation. It was restored a few years ago."
