Extended Definition: AYUNTAMIENTO

Ayuntamiento

Ayuntamiento is the council of municipalities in Spain and Latin America. Ayuntamiento is often preceded by the word excelentísimo (English: "most excellent"). The phrase is often written Excmo. Ayto.

In the Catalan speaking parts of Spain, municipalities generally use the Catalan cognate, Ajuntament, whereas in the Galician ones it is used the word Concello. Ayuntamiento is mainly used in Spain; in Latin America Alcaldía is also used to describe municipal governing bodies.

In Mexico, an ayuntamiento is composed of:

  • One municipal president (county manager)
  • One síndico (attorney general)
  • Several regidores (council members)
