City Hall is known to be a civic building of Belfast City Council that is situated in Donegall Square in Belfast city centre and it is one of the different items that are found in the list of Belfast attractions that one will get to visit during his/her tour in the city. The City Hall in Belfast tends to separate and divide the commercial and business areas of the city.

The building of the City Hall which is now regarded as a touristic attraction has passed through several stages before coming to the current position and state. City Hall was at the beginning serving as the home of the White Linen Hall which is an important international linen exchange. When Belfast was considered a city back in time by Queen Victoria, the plans for the City Hall began and this was back in 1888, this was in recognition of Belfast's rapid expansion and thriving linen, rope making, ship building and engineering industries, and at this point Belfast even became more famous than Dublin in Ireland during that time.

The construction of Belfast City Hall began in 1898 under the supervision of Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and it was eventually completed in 1906. Since that time, the City Hall passed by several steps in its long life until it reached the point it is standing at nowadays - it is actually open for the visitors during certain times of the day so that they could come in and check the building themselves.

The exterior of the building is mainly from the Portland Stone and is built in the Baroque Revival style and it has its own closed courtyard as well. During the summer days, you will find people sitting in the garden just outside the City Hall building and enjoying the weather of summer with the Victoria Square shopping centre and Belfast wheel in their background.

When it comes to the interior of City Hall, there are a couple of important things to be mentioned and from them there is the Porte-Cochere and Grand Entrance, the Grand Staircase, the Reception Room as well as the Great Hall. One of the notable things related to Belfast City Hall is the Titanic Memorial that is placed in the garden surrounding the building and this memorial is all about the names of the victims sinking in the ship RMS Titanic - RMS Titanic was a ship built in Belfast and that is the reason why there is the Titanic Museum and there is also this memorial located in Belfast City Hall (   • Titanic Quarter Belfast - Harland & Wolff ...  ).

Being around the area where City Hall is located in Belfast then there are different other locations which you could go and check as well such as the Cathedral Quarter in the centre of the city and where lots of things are actually located there, starting from the shopping places and ending with the bars and pubs in those old historical areas and corners (   • Cathedral Quarter in Belfast; Cobbled Stre...  ).
