Plaza Mayor
The City Hall is the highlight of the Main Square of the city, which is made up of a diverse set of architectural styles. The Town Hall dates from 1976 and was designed by Fernando Higueras. Its peculiar physiognomy is neo-Gothic in inspiration, reminding us of typical municipalities in the Netherlands. Facing the Town Hall is La Casa del Arco (The House of the Arch), the former 15th century Town Hall, which houses a clock that only chimes at certain times of the day, when figures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza go out onto the Cervantes balcony to the sound of music. The summer schedule is: 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 20:00, 21:00 and 22:00. Finally, under La Casa del Arco there is an arch fountain with a sculpture of Alfonso X, the founder of the city, created by García Donaire in 1967.
