San Jose del Cabo City Hall is located at the end of Blvd. Mijares and Doblado St. on the Mijares Square. The building houses many Los Cabos County premises including the Major's office.
Before having its own building the power plant was installed there and it worked from 19.00 to 22.00 hrs. In 1936 an ambulant movie theater was installed in the City hall's patio.
A humorous anecdote is still told about how a farmer that was seating in the front row saw a group of horses coming from the screen towards him and stood up to scare them away!
Over the years the building has been remodeled a few times, mostly inside with the construction of more offices and the painting of murals in the interior walls depicting the area's history.
