Another main focal point in the city is Manchester City Hall. Stunning old building in a square, this is where the main part of the Christmas markets are.

Manchester Town Hall (1868-77) in Albert Square is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. It's regarded as one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture (13th Century style) in the United Kingdom, and is one of the most important Grade One listed buildings in England. The exterior of the Town Hall bears some notable sculptures. Over the main door is a statue of the Roman General Agricola, who founded Mamucium in 9AD. Above him are Henry III and Elizabeth I, while at the apex of the main door gable is a statue of St. George. Built into one of the angle turrets of the 280ft tower is a 173-step staircase leading to the bell chamber and the clock, with its Polish glass face and 10ft-long minute hand.. The clock mechanism was made by Gillet and Bland, and was started on New Year's Day 1879. The inscription on the three clock faces which are visible from Albert Square reads "Teach us to number our Days." There are 24 bells in the tower; the Great Hour Bell weighs 8 ton and 2 cwt and is called Great Abel, named after Abel Heywood, the Mayor at the time of the official opening.
