Statue of Major General Earle Attached to South East Angle of St George's Hall

A mammoth of a Greco-Roman-style building which was built by wealthy merchants for the people of the city. It is arguably the finest neo-classical building in Western Europe, and has recently been thoroughly restored for Capital of Culture Year. Inside it has one of the best church organs in Europe.

On the outside it has a selection of classical murals which were thought quite shocking in their day (due to the shameful female nudity).
