Experts' Choice Award City Hall Visitor Center
What the experts agree on
Philadelphia's majestic 1901 City Hall dominates Penn Square at 548 feet, crowned by a bronze William Penn statue. Once the city's tallest building, this ornate municipal palace still hosts the mayor's office, courtrooms, and city council chambers.
