The City Hall, designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell and the Nathan Phillips Square are both recognizable landmarks in the centre of downtown Toronto.
The City Hall building, although having a rectangular base, has two towers that curve around, almost as a mirror to each other. While this design of architecture has been seen in other buildings around the world, it is still quite a rare sight to see buildings built this way, especially ones that are so tall and so striking to the eye.
The Nathan Phillips Square is a point in downtown Toronto that people can gather to meet their friends, have lunch on a sunny day, go for a walk, or even have an outside business meeting if they choose to. It is the forecourt to the City Hall and is named after Nathan Phillips, who was the mayor of Toronto from 1955 to 1962. ... continue below the picture...
... The square also opened in 1965 and events are held here such as concerts, farmers markets, and the winter festival of lights.
Both these sites are a must see on an architectural tour of downtown Toronto.
