Yangon City Hall, Administrative building in downtown Yangon, Myanmar.

The four-story building features traditional tiered roofs called pyatthat and green peacock decorations above the main entrance on Maha Bandula Road.

Construction occurred between 1926 and 1936 on the former site of Ripon Hall, under the direction of Burmese architect U Tin.

The structure incorporates elements of Burmese architectural design with British colonial influences, including ornate columns and traditional artistic patterns.

The building functions as the headquarters of the Yangon City Development Committee, located next to Maha Bandula Park and Sule Pagoda.

The building witnessed a major political demonstration in 1964 when 200,000 people gathered in support of Thakin Kodaw Hmaing against military control.
