Touro town hall

Touro Town Hall serves as the seat of local government for the municipality of Touro, in the province of A Coruña, in Galicia, northwestern Spain. The building stands in the village of Fonte Díaz, at Rúa Isabel II 26, and acts as the main administrative office for a municipality made up of 19 parishes.

Where is the town hall, and what does it look like?

The Casa do Concello de Touro sits in Fonte Díaz, the administrative seat of the municipality — a settlement distinct from, though within, the parish that shares the municipality's name. The building itself is a contemporary two-storey structure built in stone. Its plain, functional design matches its role: office space for municipal staff, a chamber for council meetings, and a point of contact for residents and visitors alike.

Its postal address is Rúa Isabel II 26, 15822 Touro (A Coruña), where residents and visitors can reach the local administration by phone or email for municipal business.

What kind of municipality does it serve?

Touro belongs to the Arzúa comarca, alongside the municipalities of Arzúa, O Pino and Boimorto. It covers a considerable area but has a sparse population: 115.34 km² is home to roughly 3,382 people as of 2024, giving a density of about 29 inhabitants per km². That low density is typical of Galicia's rural interior, well away from the coast and the region's larger cities.

The municipality is split into 19 parishes spread across numerous small settlements, meaning the town hall in Fonte Díaz serves residents scattered across a wide territory rather than a single concentrated town.

Why does the town hall matter to someone passing through?

For travellers crossing the interior of Galicia, the town hall in Fonte Díaz is a useful landmark — it marks the administrative centre of the municipality and tends to sit near other public services. It is also a reasonable place to ask about local information if you're continuing through the Arzúa comarca, an area associated with routes leading toward Santiago de Compostela.

The building itself isn't a historic monument; it's a modern structure raised for administrative purposes rather than for architectural or heritage interest. Its value to a visitor is mostly as an orientation point rather than a sight in its own right.
