City Hall is surrounded by some grand old historic buildings, and this is undoubtedly one of the most impressive. Opened in 1902, its six-storey Glasgow sandstone façade contains four panels reflecting Belfast's industrious roots of shipbuilding, printing, ropemaking and spinning. Dolphins, sphinxes, lions' and queens' heads, and yet more carved heads denoting England, India, Canada, Sudan, Ireland and Scotland, can also be spied on its exquisite Edwardian exterior.
