Town Hall

Manila City Hall - one of the main attractions of the capital of the Philippines. The building, with its hexagonal tower with three lined dials on the facades in the early years of its existence, got a lot of negative feedback because of its austere architectural design, lack of inputs and the clock tower placement. The original layout of the building was rejected, since the shape of a coffin, or, in another version, the shield of the knight of the Knights Templar. It is interesting that today, most critics praised the design of City Hall, which once caused so many complaints.

The building is located in the heart of Manila's tourist district, which also housed the main government offices and other city attractions. South of the Town Hall is the National Museum, the Museum of the Filipino people and the Department of Tourism. Near spread Rizal Park - the largest urban park of the country. And just outside the walls of the ancient tower of the historic district of Manila - Intramuros.

Clock tower of City Hall has become a kind of symbol of Manila. At night it is illuminated by spotlights and external illumination and becomes visible from many parts of the city. Each time the bell rings three times, and then the melody. Today, Clock Tower is considered the largest in the Philippines.

Located in the City Hall offices of government agencies and the administration of Manila. Access is open to the public from Monday to Friday.
