Nottingham Council House dominates Old Market Square with its striking Baroque Revival architecture and iconic green dome. Built in the 1920s, it serves as the city's administrative hub and houses the official tourist information center on the ground floor. Visitors can admire the grand entrance hall with its marble columns and chandeliers, or climb the dome for sweeping views over the square and beyond. The building's clock tower chimes on the hour, a beloved local sound.
