It amazes with its accessibility, because everyone can freely visit it, even without special business. The facade of the building is decorated with three flags - Catalan, French and EU, and three hands are symbolically located under them, reminding that everyone is equal before the law.

In the courtyard you will be greeted by an elegant female sculpture, which is the heroine of the city, Dina Vera. The Hotel de Ville is located in the old town near the cathedral and impresses with its ancient architecture, reminiscent of Spanish style.
