City Hall Belfast








The City Hall was open to visitors from 9.30 and was just a few minutes walk from my hotel. It is an impressive building with the dome modeled on that of St Paul's Cathedral in London.















The Spanish Civil War window

Celtic myths and legends






















The Dockers' Strike Centenary Window 1907












The Famine Window

Belfast City Centenary Window.













There was also a moving display of quotes from local people about the Troubles.

    Part of the world I have never visited - did not have the best reputation when I was kid for obvious reasons! But it does look interesting.

    I wonder why a town hall required such enormous and gorgeous architecture. Did they allow other organisations to meet there?
