Palacio del Noble Ayuntamiento - Antigua
This 1743 structure was designed by Luis Diez de Navarro, Juan de Dios Aristondo, and Diego de Porras. Its impressive two-story facade is constructed of a double layer of stone archways supported by columns. The eastern wall has one of the few carved stone exteriors surviving from the 18th century. Originally the seat of the Spanish colonial government and a jail, it now houses the municipalidad, or city government, the Museo del Libro Antiguo, and the Museo de Santiago.
