Donegall Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Donegall Square is a square in the centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland. In the centre is Belfast City Hall, the headquarters of Belfast City Council. Each side of the square is named according to its geographical location, ie Donegall Square North, South, East and West. It is named after the Donegall family. Other streets to bear their name in Belfast are Donegall Road, Donegall Pass and Donegall Street. Donegall Place, the city's main shopping street, runs from the north side of the square.
On the square are many banks or building society branches, including HSBC, Nationwide, Irish Nationwide, Abbey National, Bank of Scotland, Halifax, Co-operative Bank, First Trust Bank, Bank of Ireland, Northern Bank and Ulster Bank. Many of the above have their Northern Ireland headquarters on the square. The Northern Bank robbery occurred at the bank's headquarters on Donegall Square.
Notable buildings on the square include the Linen Hall Library and the Scottish Provident building. The Ten Square Hotel on Donegall Square South was originally a Victorian linen warehouse. Its exterior features carved portholes, with the faces of George Washington, Isaac Newton, Michelangelo and William Shakespeare protruding.
