Town hall of Calais, City hall in central Calais, France.
The municipal building features a 72-meter-high belfry constructed with red brick and white limestone, displaying Renaissance Revival and Flemish architectural elements.
Construction began in 1912 but paused during World War I when German bombs damaged the unfinished structure in September 1917, resuming completion in 1923.
The interior contains stained glass windows depicting the 1558 liberation of Calais and a tapestry illustrating the story of six citizens during the Hundred Years War.
The town hall functions as the central administrative center, providing municipal services and hosting civic events at Place du Soldat-Inconnu intersection.
The building received monument historique inscription status in 2003 and its belfry forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage designation since 2005.
