Eternally looking down onto his favourite city, founder William Penn’s 11m (37ft) bronze statue is perched atop City Hall. Philadelphia boasts the largest and most elaborate city hall in America. It took 30 years to build and was the city’s tallest building until 1987. Completed in 1901, City Hall’s massive central tower rises for 167m (548ft) and is the hub of Downtown, with an open courtyard forming a walkway that connects Broad and Market streets. The observation deck offers superb views of the city.
