Former Supreme Court
The domed former courthouse is now part of National Gallery Singapore, where art galleries share space with preserved judicial architecture.
Why go
Its classical frontage and dome give the Civic District a strong visual anchor, while surviving court spaces reveal the building's earlier purpose. See the exterior from the Padang side, then enter the National Gallery to understand how the courthouse was joined to City Hall.

The main dome crowns the former courthouse.
Classical columns define the exterior.
Preserved court spaces remain within National Gallery Singapore.
