In 1888 Queen Victoria granted Belfast in Northern Ireland the status of a city and it was agreed that a grand and magnificent building was required to reflect this new status. The resulting Belfast City Hall does not disappoint. Built in the Baroque Revival style and constructed in Portland stone, it opened in 1906. A one-hour guided tour will reveal its cherished features, including the stained glass windows, civic regalia in the Robing Room and the two royal thrones used by George V and Queen Mary in the Council Chamber. The building is located at Donegall Square.
