City Hall

I also took a tour of the Belfast City Hall.


In 1888, Queen Victoria gave Belfast a new charter…
…the conferred upon Belfast the title of city, thus requiring a city hall. It opened in 1906 and is rather fancy.

It has a Grand Staircase…



…a dome…


…a rotunda…





…stained glass windows…


…a robing room where the council members keep their fancy robes in wooden lockers…




…elaborate decorations…


…and the Council Chamber…


…where the Lord Mayor sits.
