Description
The Glasgow City Chambers has served the citezens of Glasgow for over a hundred years.
The building`s entrance is based on the third-century Arch of Constantine in Rome.
The interior is just as fine as the exterior. Just inside the main door, the Loggia has a patterned vaulted ceiling which features one-and-a-half million individual pieces of Venetian mosaic. Farther inside, the building has two open staircases and the grander of the two (the Marble Staircase) rises the full three storeys of the building. The Grand Banqueting Hall is on the second floor and on its walls are hung paintings illustrating the history of the city of Glasgow.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
