Outside and in, the Belfast City Hall is a must-visit venue in the city.
The building was constructed out of Portland stone in the Baroque Revival style. The 1.5-acre building situated in Donegall Square has an enclosed courtyard and grounds. The copper domes on each of the four corner towers and over the central hall have gone green with age, but the Belfast City Hall is still beautiful.
Inside the city hall marble from different areas of Italy surround stained glass windows with the Belfast Coat of Arms, the provincial shields of Ireland, and a portrait of Queen Victoria.
Although there are memorials inside, there are more on the grounds outside including the Titanic Memorial in Belfast, Northern Irelands War Memorial, and the Garden of Remembrance and Cenotaph. A single column is dedicated to the American Expeditionary Force many of which were stationed in Belfast just before D-Day. Be sure to visit the statues of Queen Victoria and Sir Edward Harland. In front of the Belfast City Hall is a life-size statue of James Magennis. He earned the Victoria Cross medal during World War II.
Come for a visit and tour the Belfast City Hall and grounds or join the locals on the lawn for a picnic lunch.
