Old Supreme Court Building

The old Supreme Court was opened in 1912. The three-storey granite building is Neo-classical in style. It is supported by tall Ionic columns from the ground, and on top of the main pediment is a statue of the Greek goddess Themis, representing justice. It housed the Legislative Council Chambers from 1985 to 2011 and the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal since 2015.
