点评:We were surprised by the size of the building - it's massive, with clock tower where at the top is the statue of William Penn, the city founder. Philly City Hall was the largest masonry load-bearing wall building in the world at the time of its completion in 1901, stood as the tallest occupied building in the United States until 1909, and still is the largest city hall in the United States. The construction of the City Hall took 30 years and is built French Renaissance Revival architectural style - looks amazing. All around are various statues, inside is a square with the city map drawn by Penn. When we visited it there was live screen connecting 3 cities in Europe. We stood there a while watching people waving each other. There is also information center. From the site of 15th St is Dilworth Park with water fountain and green space where you can sit on one of many chairs, relax, have lunch break etc.
翻译:这座建筑的规模着实让我们惊讶——它非常宏伟,钟楼顶端矗立着费城创始人威廉·佩恩的雕像。费城市政厅于1901年竣工,当时是世界上最大的砖石承重墙建筑,直到1909年一直是美国最高的有人居住的建筑,至今仍是美国最大的市政厅。市政厅的建造历时30年,采用法国文艺复兴复兴式建筑风格,外观令人叹为观止。市政厅周围环绕着各种雕像,内部有一个广场,广场上展示着佩恩绘制的城市地图。我们参观时,这里正通过一个实时屏幕连接着欧洲的三个城市。我们在那里驻足良久,观看人们互相挥手致意。市政厅内还设有游客信息中心。从15街出发,便是迪尔沃斯公园,公园内有喷泉和绿地,您可以坐在众多座椅上放松身心,享用午餐等等。
