Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox building The Casa de la Villa is a building located in Madrid, Spain. It served as city hall from the 17th to the 21st century.

It lies at the Plaza de la Villa, near the Calle Mayor.

Following the demolition of some housing that had served as provisional headquarters of the City Council (prior to that, the city council convened at the Church of San Salvador, located nearby), the project for the new building was commissioned in 1629 to Juan Gómez de Mora.Шаблон:Sfn Following the death of the latter, Шаблон:Ill, Teodoro de Ardemans and Шаблон:Ill assumed the direction of the building works.Шаблон:Sfn Besides its role as city hall, the building was also intended to be used as municipal prison, replacing the old Cárcel de la Villa.Шаблон:Sfn The works finished in 1692.Шаблон:Sfn

Following the refurbishment of the Palacio de Comunicaciones and the move of the municipal premises to the former (a process finished in 2011), the Casa de la Villa was left with little use.[1] It currently houses some offices of the different municipal groups represented at the Plenary and it is used for official receptions.[2] Despite having a report for its declaration as historic-artistic monument initiated in 1977, the building has yet to be declared Bien de Interés Cultural.[1]
