The current City Hall of Asmara, called now the Governor's Palace of Asmara, Eritrea, is an Italian "art-deco" building in the city centre.
The former Italian government's palace was built in 1897 by Fernando Martini, the first Italian governor of Eritrea (now it is the Asmara President's Office). The Gibi, as it is known, was converted into a Museum of Asmara during the Ethiopian rule when the Governor's Palace was switched to the present building.
The current City Hall was built in the 1930s in typical fascist style (called Littorio), with a center "tower" decorated in the entrance with "Fasci".
