The west wing was one of the most important buildings in Trnava. The Town Hall functioned as a market as well as a law enforcement building - the town jail and a pharmacy built parts of the building. There is a very interesting cellar with brck Gothic cross-rib vaults which also served as a prison. At first sight, the visitors think it is a wine cellar. Nowadays, the Town Hall consists of 4 wings, with street wing being the most splendid. Not everyone knows that this classical building was the most frequently renovated part of the complex, and therefore is the youngest part of the Town Hall.
