Guildhall, Public building in Swansea, United Kingdom.
The Guildhall features a 48-meter art deco clock tower with white Portland stone construction and stands as a governmental center in Swansea.
Construction of the Guildhall began with a stone-laying ceremony on May 4, 1932, following a design competition that attracted seventy-seven architectural entries.
The council chamber contains Australian walnut paneling and 22-foot columns, creating a formal environment for municipal meetings and civic ceremonies.
The Guildhall maintains law courts and council administration offices, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building for public access.
The clock tower incorporates a Viking longship design element, referencing Sweyn Forkbeard, connected to Swansea's founding history.
