Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Head office. Built in 1902-1908 in a French colonial style for the then city of Saigon. Statue of Ho Chi Minh is in front of the City Hall. This charming cream and yellow French Colonial Building stands at the end of Nguyen Hue Boulevard on the Le Thanh Ton Street.
The Saigon City Hall was called the Town Hall till 1954. In the brief span of time between 1954 and 1975 it was renamed the City Hall of Saigon. Since 1975 the building has been called the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Building.

The construction of this building started in March 1898 and was completed in 1908. The building is said to be designed by the famous French architect P. Gardes's whose design contributed to the main hall and the rectangular wings. On the top of the building is the famous bell tower which is placed on a pyramid like pedestal. The presence of bell towers is adapted from Renaissance architecture and is a feature that is common to most European town halls.

Since this is a working government building, no one other than civil servants and cleaners are allowed in. Saigon's Town Hall's distinct French colonial architecture reminds you of provincial French towns. Though it is not open to the public, tourists can see it from the outside, and the Night Views Are SPECTACULAR!
