BELFAST CITy HALL DONEGALL SQUARE, BELFAST Belfast City Hall is a stunning Victorian building right in the centre of the city. Dating back to 1906 its exterior is built mainly from Portland stone and is in the Baroque Revival style. It covers oneand-a-half acres and has an enclosed courtyard. With towers at each of the four corners and a lantern-crowned 173 ft (53 m) copper dome in the centre, the City Hall dominates the city centre skyline. As with other Victorian buildings in the city centre, the City Hall’s copper-coated domes are a distinctive green. BBC TV movie The Wipers Times (2013) shot here, as did the TV mini-series series 37 Days (2014) and feature film Made In Belfast (2013) (Photo, courtesy Northern Ireland Tourist Board)
