The city hall was built in the middle of the eighteenth century. It was a famous neoclassical hall at that time. The main feature is that there are twelve circular pillars at the entrance of the building supporting the wide circular lobby. It was the Royal Exchange where businessmen chatted in the open sky to welcome guests. Later, Dublin bought the building, which used to be the temporary headquarters of the Irish government. Still in use, it is the venue where the Parliament meets on the first Monday of each month under the chairmanship of the Mayor of Dublin. Inside the hall there is a circular glass elevator leading directly to the basement. The basement has a free exhibition of the story of the capital, showing Dublin yesterday and today.
Dublin City Hall is also known as the mayor's residence. The whole building is very simple and exquisite. It is not open to the public at ordinary times. It only opens to the public on Saturdays. It is equipped with full-time lecturers. The lectures are very lively and interesting. It tells a lot about Dublin's history. If you want to know about Irish history, here is a good choice.
Free Admission. It's very small. It used to be a place for discussion. There is an introduction in Chinese. Take it from yourself.
Dublin City Hall is actually the place where the government works now, but it has a history of more than 200 years. Its interior design is very beautiful, full of Victorian architectural style, showing the prosperity and strength of the British Empire at that time.
The Greek-style City Hall in Belfast is also a landmark building in the city. The lawn in front of the main entrance is now the best place for local people to bathe in the sun. Titanic sculptures in front of the City Hall commemorate the memorable memory of April 14, 1912. The Angel lowered his head, held the fragmented olive branch in his hand, and looked sadly at the grim-looking family under his feet. The man in the picture was dying. The women and children hugged him helplessly, stretching out their weak arms to pray for the protection of the gods. This profound and expressive sculpture is very touching. There is a rose-red bell tower on Queen's Square in the centre of the city. The decent tower shows the calm and elegant temperament of England. Two majestic lions stand on both sides. Let us believe that its former owner was the Royal family. This famous building is the Albert Memorial Bell, built in 1869 in memory of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert. Because of the unstable foundation, the tower has now tilted about a foot, which is called the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Belfast by the local people. Because the tower looks like London Big Ben, it is also called "Belfast Big Ben".
Dublin City Hall, formerly known as the Royal Exchange, is a historical building in Dublin, Ireland. It was built from 1769 to 1779 and was designed by architect Thomas Cooley. The Royal Exchange has a large size and fine accessories, reflecting Dublin's status and prestige in the eighteenth century. The neoclassical building, which includes a central entrance hall, has a huge dome supported by 12 columns around which businessmen can walk and discuss business. In the 1950s, the Dublin City Council purchased the Royal Exchange and converted it into a city hall.
The city hall is magnificent, but its surroundings are too noisy. It's also a commercial district. I don't know if the office workers in the city hall will be too noisy to abandon. The whole building is made of marble, and the sculpture is very dazzling.
Many people confuse the Dublin City Hall with the post office. It really looks very similar. It is located near the Dublin Castle. This historical building was originally called the Royal Exchange and renamed the City Hall in 1852.
Dublin's City Hall is where the cities counsellors gather to debate and vote in or out the various laws governing the city.
The rotunda and entrance to City Hall are stunning! Well worth seeing. For a fee there is a fairly extensive exhibit on the ground floor that has a lot of information about the city of Dublin and the workings of government - both present day and historically.
