St. George's Hall is a Grade I listed building located in Liverpool, England. The building was designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes and built between 1840 and 1855. It is considered one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in Europe and has been described as a "monumental masterpiece."

The building was originally designed as a law court and public meeting place, but it has also served a number of other purposes over the years. During World War II, it was used as a air raid shelter and in the 1950s it was used as a cinema. Today, it is primarily used for concerts, conferences, and exhibitions.

The interior of St. George's Hall is particularly impressive, featuring a grand entrance hall, a large concert room, and a law court. The Great Hall, which is the largest room in the building, is particularly stunning, with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, ornate decorations, and a massive pipe organ. The building also houses a collection of art and sculpture, including works by John Gibson, George Frampton, and Charles Bell Birch.

In addition to its architectural and cultural significance, St. George's Hall has played an important role in Liverpool's history. It has been the site of numerous important events, including the visit of Queen Victoria in 1851 and the first public meeting of the Liverpool and District Trades Council in 1895. The building also played a key role in the development of Liverpool's music scene in the 1960s, hosting concerts by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and many other popular bands of the era.
