Encyclopedia > Bayamon City Hall

Bayam n City Hall is a building in Bayam Puerto Rico. As the name suggests, it serves as city hall to that city.


Bayam n City Hall was inaugurated in 1980 by Mayor Ram n Luis Rivera. Rivera stepped down as mayor in 2000, giving way for his son Ram n Luis Rivera, Jr., to become mayor. Because of this, the hall has always served as the home office of PNP mayors only.


The building, which is located next to El Parque del tren, is also considered a touristic attraction: this is due to the fact that the building goes over an avenue. Visitors must park next to the building, walk to the avenue where it is located at, and board an elevator, in a process that is a little similar to visiting the Eiffel tower. In the second floor, there is a glass-window bridge from where the visitors can cross from one side to the other, while looking at cars pass by. The upper levels are all for office activities, but visitors can also attend. Such things as citizen complaints, city planning, etc. go on at the upper levels. There is also a theater in the building, where spectators go to see plays with top Puerto Rican actors.


The Bayam n City Hall is painted in gray. For a very long time, it was considered the only building in Latin America to cross an avenue from one side to the other.
