Oslo City Hall Radhuset with its twin red brick towers

The Radhuset, Oslo City Hall, stands majestically with its twin red brick towers against the evening sky. Inaugurated in 1950 to celebrate the city 900th anniversary, the building is famous for hosting the annual Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony. The large square in front, paved in Norwegian granite, reflects the twilight lights while some passers-by cross the space. The Norwegian functionalist architecture of the building represents a symbol of national identity and post-war rebirth.
