Rotunda at Dublin City Hall with domed gold gilded ceiling
More from visitors like you
Dublin's City Hall, on Dame Street in Dublin City, was built by the Guild of Merchants and is a magnificent example of Georgian architecture. It is well worth a stop to view its beautiful dome, richly coloured murals, ornate marble floors, and statues.

Dublin's City Hall is a magnificent example of the Georgian architecture for which Dublin is world-renowned. Built by the Guild of Merchants between 1769 and 1779 to house the Royal Exchange, it has a wonderful ambiance of old world charm.

The beautiful Rotunda where the merchants strolled discussing their business lies beneath an impressive ornate gold-leafed dome and is surrounded by statues and richly coloured murals, each one with a story to tell. A central mosaic in the Rotunda’s marble floor displays the Dublin City Seal.

Visitors can enjoy a view of the city from the steps of this stunning building and become a part of City Hall’s rich historical past. From the early days when it was a business centre to the exquisite venue it is today where a variety of events are celebrated, Dublin City Hall is one of the most beautiful locations in the heart of Dublin city.

Admission to Dublin City Hall is free.
