Detailed explanation-1: -ayun·ta·mien·to. īˌyu̇n(ˌ)tämēˈentō plural-s. : the municipal council or governing body of a town or city in Spain or the former Spanish colonies. : a town hall in Spain or the former Spanish colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spanish word means City, as the structure once housed the City Hall of Manila. The design of the current Ayuntamiento is inspired by the fusion of its old and new design. The design is a faithful reproduction of its origin from the Spanish Era.
Detailed explanation-3: -Etymology. From obsolete ayuntar ("join, gather") +-miento, ultimately from Latin adiūnctus, a contraction of ad-+ iūnctus. Note how ayuntamiento preserves the Latin palatal – as does yunta ("yoke [of oxen], team [of horses]"), but not junto ("together").
Detailed explanation-4: -Ayuntamiento (Spanish pronunciation: [aʝuntaˈmjento]) is the general term for the town council, or cabildo, of a municipality or, sometimes, as is often the case in Spain and Latin America, for the municipality itself.
Detailed explanation-5: -The governing and administrative body of the mainland provinces is the diputación provincial ("provincial council").
