Manresa City Council
Manresa City Council, which presides over the square, is a civil baroque building built between 1739 and 1777 and designed by Joan Garrido, after the old house of Veguer and Batlle (Mayor) was destroyed by a fire in 1713. It is a stately building, designed as a large house with a sober facade, where the only embellishment is a great shield of the city in the center.
In 1892 they signed the Basis for Catalan Regional Constitution, popularly known as the Bases de Manresa. This document compiled eighteen articles for the creation of a Catalan regional power project.
