For 1810, the Ayuntamiento on Plaza del Rey in San Fernando became a stage. It was not just a platform for the city's political affairs but a symbol of rebellion and a rallying point against the French occupation. The locals took control, refusing to pay taxes and asserting their defiance. This building remains as a testament to the San Fernando residents who refused to give in, a reminder of the fight for freedom during Spain's war of independence.
