The construction of the building began on the 9th July in 1889, with Francisco de Ródenas as the architect, although 2 years later the project was taken over by the architect Francisco de Paula y Oliver, working in Cartagena, although originally from Cataluña.
This time was the era of greatest productivity in the Mazarrón mines, at a time when Mazarrón had 40,000 inhabitants and had a wealthy middle class.
The building is constructed in a 19th century modernist style, and the interior is particularly noteworthy, the Salón de actos a magnificent room and well worth climbing up the stairs for.
The former Mayorial office is still used for special occasions, although it´s main function today is as an exhibition space.
There are 2 main exhibition areas, namely the basement which is an atmospheric and intimate area, and the top sala which has an external terrace.
The building was declared as being a Monumento Historico Artistico Nacional in 1980.
