Construction of this plaza began in the 15th century on lands reclaimed from the sea. With the demolition of the City walls in 1906 the plaza increased in size and a statue of the Cádiz politician Segismundo Moret was unveiled. Overlooking the plaza, the ''[[Ayuntamiento]]'' is the [[town hall]] of Cádiz's ''Old City''. The structure, constructed on the bases and location of the previous [[Consistorial Houses]] (1699), was built in two stages. The first stage began in 1799 under the direction of architect [[Torcuato Benjumeda]] in the [[Neoclassical architecture|neoclassical]] style. The second stage was completed in 1861 under the direction of [[García del Alamo]], in the [[Isabelline Gothic]] ({{langx|es|Gótico Isabelino}} or, simply, the ''Isabelino'') style. Here, in 1936, the flag of [[Andalusia]] was hoisted for the first time.
