Just around the corner is the Auckland Town Hall, a prominent civic landmark that has been the centre of the city’s political and cultural life since it opened in 1911. 

Adjacent to the Town Hall in the heart of Auckland, Aotea Square is a popular location for festivals, parades, live music and performing arts.
