Town Hall (Zhovkva Tower Museum)
Zhovkva Town Hall in the Neo-Renaissance style is part of the Market Square ensemble. The first town hall in Zhovkva was built by architect P. Beber in 1687. On its walls were placed a sundial and a sample of arshin. The old house was dismantled in 1832 due to an emergency, and for a century the magistrate sat in the castle. The current town hall was built in 1932. It was built according to the competition project of architect B. Victor on the site of former barracks and casemates. In the pre-war period, the city trumpet player sang the melody "geynal" from the clock tower at noon. Now at noon the bells of the clock perform a passage of the anthem of Ukraine.

Жовківська ратуша в стилі неоренесансу входить до ансамблю Ринкової площі. Перша міська ратуша в Жовкві була збудована архітектором П. Бебером в 1687 році. На її стінах розміщувалися сонячний годинник і зразок аршина. Старий будинок розібрали в 1832 році через аварійний стан, і протягом цілого століття магістрат засідав в замку. Нинішня ратуша збудована в 1932 році. Її звели за конкурсним проєктом архітектора Б. Віктора на місці колишніх казарм і казематів. У передвоєнні часи з годинникової вежі міський сурмач опівдні виконував мелодію "гейнал". Тепер опівдні дзвони годинника виконують уривок гімну України. У вежі розміщується історико-краєзнавча експозиція "Музей "Жовківська вежа" з виходом на оглядовий майданчик.
