\\Located on the Grand Parade in Cape Town city centre, Cape Town City Hall [{GoogleMap location='Cape Town City Hall, Kapstadt, Westkap, Südafrika' zoom='17'}] is a large Edwardian building built in 1905 from honey-coloured oolitic limestone imported from Bath in England. 

An Organ made from mahogany, teak and pine wood, with 3.165 pipes was installed. The tower of the City Hall has a Turret Clock which strikes the hours and chimes the Westminster quarters. Shortly after his release from prison Nelson Mandela made his first public speech from the balcony of Cape Town City Hall on February 11, 1990. 

The offices of the City of Cape Town are no longer located inside the building which has become a central venue for creative and cultural events.
