History

Padovano.[3] This new design featured elements such as an attic in the Renaissance style. Padovano had been summoned to Tarnów by Jan Tarnowski.[4]
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]
