The heart of Birmingham revolves around the pedestrian-friendly Victoria Square, and can be explored via the Birmingham City Centre Path. Along the way, you'll discover the attractive old Town Hall, built in 1832 and a masterpiece of Victorian architecture.

 Resembling a Roman temple, this impressive structure features 40 ornate Corinthian columns made of Anglesey marble, and has been the center of the city's music scene since hosting the first performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah in 1847.
