Commanding the Oslo Fjord, the City Hall is a monumental Functionalist building inaugurated in 1950. Work had begun almost 20 years earlier, but the project was interrupted by the Second World War.
You’ll know the City Hall by its red brick facade and two towers, 63 and 66 metres tall.
Those bricks were fired especially for this building and are larger than modern bricks and more akin to those that were used in Medieval constructions.
