Bristol City Hall
City Hall faces College Green with a broad curved facade. It is an easy exterior stop beside Bristol Cathedral; interior visits depend on public events or tours.
Built as the Council House and opened in the mid twentieth century, this building gives College Green a civic counterweight to the medieval cathedral. Its long curve is easiest to understand from across the green. A listed public event may offer a chance to see the interiors.
