Chișinău City Hall

Chișinău City Hall is a white stone building with Italian Gothic architectural features located on Ștefan the Great Avenue in the city center. It houses multiple municipal departments and functions as the administrative headquarters for the city.

The original structure was designed in 1901 by architects Mitrofan Elladi and Alexandru Bernardazzi and was later reconstructed after significant damage during World War II. The rebuilding preserved the original architectural vision and its role as a central landmark.

The building serves as the city's administrative heart and shapes the skyline with its distinctive facade on the main avenue. Residents view this place as a symbol of municipal authority and governance.

The building is centrally located on one of the city's main avenues and is easy to reach on foot or by public transportation. The exterior of the structure is freely viewable, though the interior is generally not open to the public.

The structure was specifically designed with Italian Gothic elements, which distinguishes it in a city typically characterized by different architectural styles. This choice of European aesthetic made it a visual sign of the city's modernization efforts in the early 1900s.
