Bombed multiple times during the Troubles. Location of The Saville Inquiry which lasted for 12 years on the events surrounding Bloody Sunday. President Bill Clinton gave his address from the square in front of the hall and David Cameron gave an apology on behalf of the state. Now hosts displays and occasional Derry City & Strabane District Council meetings. Also the location of Brian Friel's Field Day Theatre Company premier.

Recognise the Guildhall Clock? It was modelled on London’s Big Ben. Sitting within reach of our famous 400-year-old Walls is one of the City’s most recognisable - and arguably one of the most stunning - landmarks, the Guildhall. It has been in the heart of city life since 1887 and the auburn brick building is the anchor for the buzzing Guildhall Square. The Guildhall’s most arresting feature is its collection of stunning stained-glass windows. Donated by London Companies, they represent everything from fishmongers to musicians. During The Troubles the Guildhall was the focus of multiple terror attacks. The building was badly damaged by two bombs in 1972, but was restored at a cost of £1.7 million and reopened in 1977. The square in front of the Guildhall regularly plays host to important events and was the site of U.S. President Bill Clinton's address when he visited the city in November 1995. The Guildhall was also home to the Saville Inquiry into the events of Bloody Sunday from 1998 to 2005.
