San Jose City Hall

Downtown Historic District

San José's striking City Hall was designed by Richard Meier, the architect behind the Getty Center. The complex centers on a freestanding glass rotunda, an 18-story tower, and a public plaza with granite seating and mist-spraying poles for hot days. Come at night to catch the LED light tunnel in action.
