Antiguo Ayuntamiento - Trujillo, Cáceres, Extremadura, España - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"El antiguo edificio consistorial se levantó a finales del siglo XV y se terminó en el XVI. Su estructura en un origen era gótica, aunque las sucesivas reformas han hecho que no perdure prácticamente nada de su esencia medieval. La fachada original cerraba las tres alturas del edificio por medio de dos corredores y una galería, pero a lo largo del siglo XVI se sucedieron las reformas y ampliaciones, dando lugar a la fachada actual, construida en los primeros años de esa centuria.

Ésta se abre al exterior por medio de tres logias con arcadas de medio punto y rebajadas, la inferior más alta que las superiores, que se cierran con balaustres de piedra. En este edificio se situó la cárcel real.

En el interior destaca el antiguo Salón de Sesiones, situado en la planta noble, y en donde pueden verse los escudos de las familias nobiliarias más importantes de la ciudad. En la actualidad el edificio, que se encuentra en restauración, es ocupado por los jugados de la ciudad."

"The old town hall building was built at the end of the 15th century and completed in the 16th century. Its original structure was Gothic, although subsequent renovations have meant that virtually none of its medieval essence has survived. The original façade enclosed the three levels of the building with two corridors and a gallery, but renovations and extensions took place throughout the 16th century, giving rise to the current façade, built in the early years of that century.

This opens to the exterior through three loggias with semicircular and segmental arches, the lower one higher than the upper ones, which are closed off with stone balusters. This building once housed the royal prison.

Inside, the former Assembly Hall stands out, located on the main floor, where the coats of arms of the city's most important noble families can be seen. Currently, the building, which is undergoing restoration, is occupied by the city's judges."
