Pau Town Hall
Pau town hall or "hotel de ville" as they say in French, is located in an amazing house well worth a visit. It is an example of a three-storied mansion with a dazzling front elevation. The central part of the building is formed by a gigantic arch forming the doorway of the building topped by another stone arch which is loaded with ornamentation. There are beautiful large windows on both sides of the facade with a balcony in the middle. The building is of the the same color as that of most of the monuments in the city, including the cathedral, it is a grayish color stone with blue roofs that give it a look of incredible elegance.
The building is surrounded by a beautiful park with two rows of trees, a gazebo and opposite the Town Hall, a majestic stone statue. It is a quiet and pleasant place and nearby is the cable car linking the city bus station with the area of the town hall, so the park and the town hall are often the first things that visitors who come here see when they arrive in this city.
