Domus Municipalis de Bragança

The building known as Domus Municipalis in Bragança in the district of the same name in northern Portugal probably goes back to a cistern that was created in the 13th or 14th century. In the first third of the 15th century, an upper floor was built over the cistern, which served as the town hall until the 19th century. In 1910 the Domus Municipalis was declared a Monumento Nacional

It was built in the 12th century.Although much has been written about its purpose, there is no consensus among scholars. It served as a water cistern, but there are doubts as to whether this was its original function.The name by which it is known today (in Latin "Domus Municipalis", in Portuguese "Casa Municipal") is due to the fact that it was used as the Town Hall by the Municipal Administration of Bragança.It was classified as a National Monument in 1910
