Hôtel de ville de Saint-Côme-d'Olt stands in Saint-Côme-d'Olt (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The town hall of Saint-Côme-d'Olt occupies a former seigneurial castle whose origins date back to the 13th century, when it served as a residence for the lords of Calmont d'Olt. Visitors can still see the massive rectangular building flanked by two round towers at its north corners, remnants of a defensive architecture reshaped over the centuries. Having passed through several noble families before becoming a boarding school and then the village town hall, the building still bears traces of these different lives.
