Introduction

Brisbane City Hall stands on King George Square in the city center, completed in 1930, a magnificent neoclassical sandstone building whose about 92 m clock tower was long Brisbane's high point and city symbol. The interior is elegantly decorated, with a circular concourse, a concert hall and the Museum of Brisbane inside. Visitors can enter free and book the antique bronze elevator to the clock tower, overlooking the city center and square from the viewing level; on the hour the tower bell still rings. As Brisbane's historic landmark and cultural center, City Hall carries the city's century of memory.
