Town Hall
Birmingham's Town Hall (1832-50), a masterpiece of Victorian architecture, takes the form of a Roman temple, with 40 Corinthian columns of Anglesey marble; the large hall can seat 2000. It has been the center of the city's musical life since the first performance of Mendelsohn's "Elijah" here in 1847, and has one of the finest organs in the country.

Adorning the forecourt are two memorials, one to Queen Victoria and another to the inventor James Watt. Both are the work of Alexander Monro and date from 1899.
