Old City Hall

Old City Hall is one of Toronto's defining landmark buildings. The building dates back to 1899, when it was constructed as the seat of government for the former City of Toronto. The Romanesque Revival-style building boasts gorgeous granite facing and a large copper dome, giving it a striking but timeless appearance. Inside, visitors can explore the ornate council chambers, pay respects to Canadian war heroes at the Hall of Memory, and browse the shops and food stalls at the North Market. Old City Hall is also a popular spot for visitors on the look-out for street performers, especially during the summer months. Regardless, this historical landmark situated in the core of downtown Toronto provides a glimpse into the city’s past.
