Every time I pass by the Plaza del Ayuntamiento de Alicante my heart sinks to your feet. Here I see a parking with four boxes and a lot of cars bunched . I sincerely believe we deserve a better place (Photo 1 Sig.Pac extracted Viewer)
Photo extracted from the website of the City of Alicante was published some time ago the possibility of demolishing the Provincial Court in such whereby it is a larger square framed by the city and the rear facade of the Casa Carbonell. If this happens the Hotel Palas would be more or less in front of an open space, as was once (hence the main entrance where it is). In my view there is no need to come to that (although I would not mind much, another thing is as it would leave the sides of the square, which are the same as the building remolerían) just need some will.
The truth is that the Town Hall does not deserve a place on its doorstep as he does . A triangular plaza that was once (as shown in Photo 4, taken from Www.alicantevivo.blogspot.com ) but, drawing on the explosion of the armory El Gato, owned by Alfredo Llopis, on July 31, 1943, was renovated. Figueras Pacheco in
Geography of the Kingdom of Valencia (1914) presents us as a place the approximate shape of right triangle whose hypotenuse is the line of houses that support the upper floors of a series of porches or arcades running around the front of the block. On this side lies the building of the hearing, and opposed to him in the leg more, City Hall. Remember that back then the name of the place was that of Alfonso XII. Our Town Hall, located right in the line of the late medieval wall, is not primitive because after the bombing of 1691 had to edify practically zero, extending the previous space, for which they had to demolish the adjoining buildings. The work began in January
701, but due to the Succession War stopped work, the work can be completed on March 1, 1760 (actually the building was not quite finished, something that did not happen until some years later).
