The Old Town Hall is one of the most important buildings in Porvoo's Old Town. It is a two-storey building with an attic adorned by a wooden clock tower at the very top.
Until 1880 the building was used by the city authorities for administrative purposes. In 1896, the museum association saved it from destruction by creating a museum in the town hall.In 2011, an exhibition dedicated to the Middle Ages and ancient history was opened here.
