The address of the ayuntamuento in La Oliva is C/ Emilio Castellot, 2 La Oliva. Other municiple information is available on the municipal information page. The ayuntamiento is based in a modern building and we have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly.

The parish church of La Oliva,is dedicated to the Virgen de la Candelaria, has three naves and a tower of black stone.

Another building of note in the town is La Casa de los Coroneles. This is currently undergoing a phase reconstruction, but is impressive enough to be worth a visit, and it is located just down from the ayuntamiento. It was built in 1708 and was the home of the military rulers of the island.
