Pretoria City Hall, Municipal building in central Pretoria, South Africa
The Pretoria City Hall stands on Paul Kruger Street with a semi-Italian classical design, featuring stone floors and a grand auditorium for public gatherings.
Construction of the hall began in 1931 following a design competition, marking Pretoria's elevation to city status, and the building opened in 1935.
Three bronze statues stand in Pretorius Square, including monuments to Chief Tshwane and the Pretorius family members who established the city.
The building contains multiple event spaces, administrative offices, and a two-story kitchen facility, making it suitable for large gatherings and ceremonies.
The building houses 32 tower bells, donated by George Heys, which add a musical dimension to this municipal structure.
