Palatul Administrativ Arad (Primăria)
The Administrative Palace of Arad, also known as the City Hall, is one of the emblematic buildings of the city, raised in the second half of the nineteenth century in a Renaissance style. The imposing edifice, with its tall clock tower, dominates the central landscape and stands as a landmark visible from a great distance. The balanced facade, sober decoration and monumental proportions reflect the administrative and civic aspirations of Arad in the era of its urban growth. The clock tower, fitted with a mechanism that marks the hours, is a symbol of the city.
The building still houses the local administration, keeping its original function. Its position in the heart of the historic centre makes it a point of reference for orientation in the city. The palace is best admired from the square in front; visiting the interior may be limited by its administrative function.
