Cork City Hall is a building used as Cork’s town hall. Imposing with its neo-classical architecture, it houses the civil servants in charge of administering the city. Although closed to visitors, it is one of Cork’s most emblematic buildings!

The town hall is located on George’s Quay. It houses Cork City Council, as well as a concert hall, where all the city’s major musical and cultural events take place.

Founded in 1936, it was designed by architects Jones and Kelly. Admire the 6 Tuscan columns, the tower and clock, and the green copper dome.

The sight of the monument at night, when the building is illuminated, is actually quite nice.
