Town Hall or Former Main Corps of Guard, Almeida, Portugal #246891205
Description
The works of the former Main Guard Corps began in 1791, based on a project by the architect Anastacio de Sousa e Miranda. Its architecture is markedly neoclassical, as evidenced by the imposing entrance portico with three arches. This monument is, together with the Infantry Barracks, just over 200 meters away, one of the best examples of 18th-century military architecture in this historical village. Today, it serves as the Town Hall`s premises and is facing the building of the Palace of Justice and Civil Registry of Almeida.
