Located within the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site and overlooking the Padang, this building is yet another must visit. The frontage is still quite a majestic sight an a nice stop over for photos. Our full review is on Instagram (@monk3yseendo)

Beautiful George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a multicultural city with famous quarters like 'Little India' or Chinatown around Campbell Street. And naturally there is everywhere a strong Malay element. What one will not find is a British corner, but walking through George Town's northern part, where its development began end of the 18th century, one will find several impressive buildings from the British colonial past. On my walk through this part I got to see the Jubilee Clock Tower, the Fort Cornwallis, the City Hall and Town Hall across the Esplanade, then the old Penang State Museum, the Supreme Court, the Anglican St.George's Church, the Catholic Church of the Assumption and the famous Eastern&Oriental Hotel. The City Hall from 1903 replaced the 23 older Town Hall almost next door, which had become too small as an administrative center. It was built in the Neo-Baroque style, popular in the first decade of the 20th century, which is a bit less ornate than the previous Victorian style. Since at this time Edward VII was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain it is also known as 'Edwardian style'. The construction, last renovated in 2005, can be admired from outside, since entry is not allowed. Today it serves as the seat of the Penang Island City Council.
