Neo-classical style. Constructed according to the plans drawn up by architect Félix de Azúa between 1868 and 1872. In 1867 it was agreed that the Torre de la Vila (town's tower) should be demolished.

The walls of the old d'En Pau Rei mill were also at risk of ruin and were torn down. With the demolition of the tower the city was left without a town hall.

The authorisation to demolish the tower was granted by the civil governor in July 1867 and by September the projects and budgets for the new town hall had already been prepared and the bidding conditions for the work were approved by the city council.

The budget for this work totalled 1.981.660 escudos (300.22 Euros), four times the total ordinary budget for that year.

With the placement of the Comunity Hall some thirty metres closer to the sea than the old fort and the subsequent alignement of the future esplanades with the new factory, a series of plots of land pertaining to the City Hall appeared.

The Casa de la Vila or town hall, one of the most modest in Catalonia, was solemnly inagurated in February 1872 and attended by the Province's highest authorities.

A telegraph was inagurated in 1884 and the City Hall´s clock was installed the same year.

Construction of the bell tower, named bona nit (good night), was awarded to the blacksmith Pere Tarrats at a price of 90 cents per Kilo.

Thus the work was contracted by weight.
