The Jarosław town hall with the characteristic clock tower is the seat of the city authorities. It owes its neo-Renaissance appearance to the reconstruction of the 1890s. The oldest fragments of the building transformed many times go back to the early 17th century. Inside, on the first floor, fragments of 17th-century wall paintings have been preserved, as well as stucco and door woodwork at the beginning of the 20th century in the Narad Hall.
Already in the 15th century, there was a wooden, Gothic town hall in the city, which burned down at the beginning of the 17th century. A stone building erected in its place in 1625 also suffered a fire, and then it was rebuilt as a late Renaissance building with arcades. During the Austrian rule, the town hall housed military workshops and the building fell into ruin.
In 1852, the city bought the town hall from the Austrian government and rebuilt it in the neo-Gothic and then neo-Renaissance style. At the beginning of the 20th century, the town hall was expanded to include a city arrest and west wing.
