Town Hall and coat of arms (panel no.11)
The Town Hall, or Council Chamber, has been here for centuries.
In 1703, the jurors – or councillors – commissioned this portal from the stonemason Francés Agulló.
He was charged with fashioning an arch similar to that in the home of captain Fernando Mayor in Calle Archivos and above is the coat of arms you can see.
The coat of arms shows the patron saint, Santa Marta, dominating a monster (the Tarasca). with blessed water from its pail.
At the bottom are the bars of Aragon and at the top the royal crown.
This must have been the old coat of arms of the royal town of Villajoyosa.
