Described as the finest Greco-Roman building in Europe, this magnificent landmark is a fine example of the outstanding architecture within the city. Built in 1842, this Grade I listed building was originally built as a concert hall and two assize courts. The original architect Harvey Lonsdale Elmes died of consumption before the building was complete and his successor ,Charles Robert Cockerell ,altered the design so that the interior resembled a Roman public bath. The Great Hall is famed for the Minton tiled floor, the Willis Organ, vaulted ceiling, fine sculpture and plasterwork. The assizes courts and the concert room are often seen in film and television productions.
