This article is about the Spanish-era city hall now housing the Bureau of the Treasury. For the current city hall, see Manila City Hall.
The Ayuntamiento de Manila (Manila City Hall) is a building located at the corner of Andrés Soriano Avenue (formerly, Calle Aduana) and Cabildo Street, fronting Plaza de Roma in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. Also known as the Casas Consistoriales and also nicknamed as the Marble Palace, the Ayuntamiento was the seat of the Manila City Council, which consisted of two alcaldes (city leaders), eight oidores (judges), a clerk, and a chief constable.[2] Destroyed in World War II and reconstructed thereafter, the building now houses the offices of the Bureau of the Treasury.
