How very beautiful

Yesterday, I went to the Belfast City Hall, for a tour of the building. It is really one of the most beautiful buildings I've been in -- especially for a city hall. There are three types of Italian marble, handcarved wood decorations, stained glass windows, portraits of previous Lord Mayors, gorgeous chandeliers, and the list goes on.

I really did not expect that it would be quite as beautiful as it is. It had a very complimentary write up in my travel guide, yet the description there just didn't do the building justice.

It is truly a remarkable building.
