Toronto City Hall

Home of the city's municipal government and one of its most distinctive landmarks. City Hall consists of twin towers surrounding a white disk-like council chamber which is mounted on a raised platform. Built more than a half a century ago, it still appears very modern.

This is one of Toronto's most important and treasured landmarks . The two towers are already an attraction in themselves. Go up to the top to catch great city views . Don't miss the Podium Green Roof .

Look for the sculpture called Metropolis. In concentric circles, the central of nine 180kg panels mimic the ravines that enclose the city ’s heart;100,000 common nails make up this wonder.
