A piece of cheese in the city center

The town hall of Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, was built in 1911 and has the architectural style of the Italian Renaissance. The clock tower on the front is 40 meters high and is the most dazzling cultural building on Queen Street in downtown Auckland. Due to the triangular ground structure of the building, some local residents compare it to a piece of cheese. The town hall contains a large auditorium that can accommodate more than 1,600 people. It has a very good sound structure, so it is also used as the concert hall of the Auckland Symphony Orchestra.
