Alicante - Town Hall

(Local Name: Ayuntamiento) Southwest of Santa María is the fine Ayuntamiento, built between 1696 and 1760, with two square towers 35m/115ft high and a beautiful Churrigueresque facade. On the steps leading up to it is the "zero point" by reference to which all heights above sea level in Spain are measured. The Salón Azul (Blue Room) of the Town Hall is particularly worth seeing.
