History
The town hall was initially constructed in the 15th century. Geographer Mieczysław Orłowicz mentions that it was redesigned in the 16th century by J. M. Padovano, an architect who had been summoned to Tarnów by Jan Tarnowski.[3][4] This new design featured elements such as an attic in the Renaissance style.
Zygmunt Vogel produced a watercolor of the town hall around 1800.
During World War I, the town hall was damaged by Austrian artillery during the Gorlice–Tarnów offensive.[5]
