The town magistrate palace was built in 1785 in the southwestern part of the square, in historicistic style as a one-storey building with another three terraced houses. On the first floor there was a spacious City Hall, the Mayor’s office and the office of the Great City Notary were next to it, followed by other offices upstairs and on the ground floor. Under the building and a one-storey building by the Vučjak stream there was a sizable town cellar. On the facade, in the gable with a niche in the middle of the roof stood a bust of King Francis Joseph I, and in 1954 a stone relief of Požega’s coat of arms replaced it. The building was damaged and reconstructed again several times throughout history.
