The Municipal Corporation Building, Thrissur, is the seat of the Thrissur Municipal Corporation and is situated in the middle of Thrissur city, Kerala, India. It was established in 1921, initially operating from a two‑room office in the Government Guest House on Shoranur Road before laying the foundation for a dedicated municipal building on 7 July 1932. The new four‑storey building designed in a restrained British‑colonial style was inaugurated on 29 December 1932 by Diwan J. W. U. Bor and sits prominently beside the Vadakkunnathan Temple. Its symmetrical plaster facade features regularly spaced sash windows, modest pilasters, and a continuous cornice, while a distinctive central clock tower houses a Westminster Quarters chiming clock imported from Madras.
