The City Hall Gardens


The gardens are often used for public events, such as operas and concerts.
Queen Victoria

In front of the Hall stands Thomas Brock's statue of Queen Victoria. In the gardens is a marble figure of Thane, erected to mark the sinking of The RMS Titanic in 1912. Other statues around the gardens commemorate various worthies, from frock-coated mayors to James Magennis, who won his Victoria Cross in WWII by placing mines from a midget submarine beneath an enemy boat.

Address: Donegall Square
