The Glasgow City Chambers boast more marble than the opulent Vatican City with a vast range of ornate decoration, used to express the wealth and economic prosperity of the Second City of the Empire.
The entrance hall of the Chambers displays a mosaic of the city's coat of arms on the floor, which dates from the 1950s when the city's coat of arms was last modified. The arms reflect legends about Glasgow's patron saint, Saint Mungo, and include four emblems – the bird, tree, bell, and fish.
The City Chambers forms one side of George Square right in the heart of Glasgow.
Tours are available twice a day at 10:30 and 2:30 Monday to Friday and tickets are allocated on a first come basis. Tickets can be obtained from the Chambers 30 minutes before each tour
