The Court of Final Appeal Building in Central: A Neoclassical Heritage Landmark
The Court of Final Appeal Building on Jackson Road in Central, also known as the Old Supreme Court Building, opened in 1912. This three-storey granite building is neoclassical, with Ionic columns around the ground level and a blindfolded Themis holding a sword and scales on top, symbolising justice. It has housed the Supreme Court and the Legislative Council, and has served as the Court of Final Appeal since 2015; its exterior was declared a monument in 1984. Chater Garden and Statue Square lie to its east and west. Check opening information before you go, and use HKeMobility to plan transport.
Editor’s noteIf you are exploring Central and Western District sights, add this century-old monument to your list alongside Chater Garden and Statue Square; check opening information before you go.
