Hôtel de Ville, Lille
Historic building and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Lille, France / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Lille, France. Built between 1924 and 1932 in Art Deco style of Flemish neo-Renaissance inspiration, it is listed as a Monument historique since May 2002.[1] Its belfry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2005 along with many other Belfries of Belgium and France in recognition of its architecture and importance in the history of municipal power in Europe.[2] The latter should not be confused with the belfry of Lille's Chamber of Commerce, also emblematic of the city.
