Splendid view of Bristol City Hall, the town hall built between 1938 and 1956 in neo-Georgian style with Art Deco elements. The imposing red brick building overlooks College Green with its curved facade elegantly embracing the square. In the foreground the large ornamental fountain reflects the surrounding architecture like a mirror, while flower beds of colorful flowers - red, pink, yellow - frame the water mirror. The building houses the headquarters of the city council and represents the center of civic power in Bristol, a city that since the Middle Ages has always played an important role in the commercial and political history of England.
