The City Council of Seville has put out to tender the restoration works for the railings, carpentry, and stained glass of the Town Hall, with a budget of 1.44 million euros and an execution period of 18 months.
The Board of the Real Alcázar and the Town Hall has published the tender to restore the railings, carpentry, and stained glass of the Seville City Hall building, an intervention that has a base budget of 1,445,119.13 euros. The works, which will last for 18 months, aim to restore the splendour of these historical elements of the Renaissance building.
The delegate for Finance and vice president of the Board, Juan Bueno, explained that the action has been "long planned" and will allow for the recovery of "all the heritage value" of these pieces. "We continue to make progress with actions in the conservation of one of the most representative buildings in Seville," he stated.
The project includes a comprehensive restoration using specialized conservation techniques. The aim is to ensure the stability of the railings, carpentry, and stained glass, as well as their preservation against deterioration caused by the passage of time and environmental conditions.
This intervention adds to the recent restoration of the façade of the Town Hall, completed in recent years. "After the restoration of the façade, we are launching a new large-scale intervention," Bueno recalled, emphasizing the municipal government's commitment to protecting historical heritage.
The Seville Town Hall, located in Plaza Nueva, is one of the most notable examples of Renaissance civil architecture in Spain. Its construction began in the 16th century and has undergone various reforms over the centuries. The original railings and carpentry, as well as the stained glass, are elements of great artistic value that require specialized maintenance.
The City Council has detailed that interested companies can submit their bids through the contractor's profile. The tender will remain open for the period established in the specifications, and it is expected that the works will begin in the coming months once awarded.
With this action, the City Council continues the roadmap for the comprehensive recovery of the building, which also includes improvements in accessibility and facilities. The total investment in the Town Hall in recent years exceeds two million euros.
The residents of Seville will be able to see the results of this restoration once the works are completed, which will be carried out without affecting the normal functioning of the municipal offices. The City Council expects the works to conclude by 2026, restoring the Town Hall to its full splendour.
