Walking down Donegal Square there is one building that is without a doubt catching everyone’s eyes. Tourists and habitants lay down in the grass in front of the grey castle, named City Hall, enjoying the unusual sunny weather.
The City Hall is the civic building of Belfast City Council and the location of many function rooms. The building has luxurious interior decorated with stained glass windows, the Belfast Coat of Arms, portraits of Queen Victoria and William III and shields of Ireland. Really impressive is the Great hall and the Great Entrance with the staircase. Findable as well are various memorials.
