The hub of Leeds, the pedestrian area known as City Square, is famous for its numerous statues, including figures of the Black Prince and inventor James Watt.
Nearby is Joseph Priestley Church, as well as the spectacular Town Hall, consecrated in 1858 by Queen Victoria. A lovely Corinthian colonnade adorns its front, dominated by a 200-foot-tall clock tower, and its ornate Victoria Hall is used frequently for concerts.
Another important city structure is Leeds Civic Hall with its owl decorated towers, the heraldic emblem of the city.
