About this audio guide
This guide to the Ayuntamiento de Málaga opens with a question about a door marked for judges that leads nowhere. It follows the palace the city council broke ground on in 1911, designed by Fernando Guerrero Strachan and Manuel Rivera Vera with a dual purpose in mind, and the eight years and roughly one and a half million pesetas it took to finish, complete with clock tower, allegorical statue and gardens. Look up at the tower and the carved garlands over the windows as you consider what they were built for.
