CASA DO CONCELLO DO PORRIÑO
O edificio que aloxa as dependencias do concello de Porriño foi deseñado polo arquitecto porriñés Antonio Palacios, entre 1919 e 1924. Este edificio enmárcase dentro do estilo rexionalista galego. Decidiuse a súa construción polo mal estado que presentaba a anterior casa do concello, Palacios doaría o seu traballo ó pobo de Porriño. A obra que se atopa no centro da vila destaca polos seus coidados detalles como as almeas que rematan as torres, as celosías na balconada ou os arcos de medio punto e bóveda de crucería sobre os que se asenta.
No ano 1976 un incendio causaría danos importantes no edificio, restaurándose en 1980 cunha ampliación e remodelación da praza onde se atopa.
ANTONIO PALACIOS
Antonio Palacios Ramilo (O Porriño 1874 - Madrid 1945) foi un dos mellores arquitectos españois do cambio de século e primeiras décadas do XX. Porriñés de nacemento e madrileño de adopción, pasará a historia como o construtor dos grandes edificios de Madrid como o Palacio de Comunicacións, o Hospital de Maudes, pero tamén dalgún dos edificios principais da arquitectura galega da primeira metade de século, como o Teatro García Barbón de Vigo, o Tempo Votivo de Panxón, o Templo da Vera Cruz de Carballiño ou incluso o deseño do Gran Vigo que nunca se levaría a cabo.
Antonio Palacios mantivo un importante vínculo co Porriño ó longo de toda a súa vida. Aquí nacera, aquí seguira vivindo parte da súa familia e o arquitecto visitaba Porriño con frecuencia. Aquí tamén está soterrado, no cemiterio municipal, debaixo dunha sinxela rocha de granito. Valedor do granito porriñés como material arquitectónico, no Porriño deixaría tamén unha parte moi importante da súa herdanza arquitectónica, a través de proxectos que deseñaría gratuitamente, ademais do edificio do Concello, a Fonte do Cristo, a Botica do seu irmán e o Templete da Rede do Metropolitano trasladado dende Madrid.

PORRIÑO MUNICIPAL HOUSE
The building that houses the offices of the Porriño council was designed by the Porriño architect Antonio Palacios, between 1919 and 1924. This building is part of the Galician regionalist style. It was decided to build it due to the poor condition of the previous town hall, Palacios would donate his work to the people of Porriño. The work in the center of the town stands out for its careful details such as the battlements that finish the towers, the lattices on the balcony or the semi-circular arches and cross vault on which it rests.
In 1976, a fire caused significant damage to the building, which was restored in 1980 with an extension and remodeling of the square where it is located.

Porriñés by birth and Madrid by adoption, he will go down in history as the builder of the great buildings in Madrid such as the Palacio de Comunicacións, the Hospital de Maudes, but also some of the main buildings of Galician architecture of the first half of the century, such as the García Barbón Theater of Vigo, the Tempo Votivo de Panxón, the Vera Cruz Temple of Carballiño or even the design of Gran Vigo that would never be carried out.
Antonio Palacios maintained an important link with Porriño throughout his life. He had been born here, part of his family had continued to live here, and the architect visited Porriño frequently. He is also buried here, in the municipal cemetery, under a simple granite rock.
