The Municipal Palace of Viana do Castelo, or Viana do Castelo Town Hall, is located in the historic center, on the square where the old So Tiago Gate once stood, providing access to the city's walled city. Built in the first decade of the 16th century by order of Manuel XVI, it was later also used as a chain store, a bread and flour market, a library, and is now a cultural center.

The building's style and layout fit in with the Gothic tradition.
