Belfast City Hall and Coat of Arms.

 Hello everyone, 

Queen Victoria granted Belfast the status of the city and a grand and magnificent building was required for its new status. The City Hall opened its doors on the 1st August 1906. It was designed by Alfred Brumwell Thomas and it cost 369,000 pounds.

If you take the tour on one of the daily guided public tours of the buildings, you will see the beautiful Belfast Coat of Arms on the floor. The seahorses remind us the maritime importance of Belfast, as does the ship at the base of the shield.
