Manchester boasts some beautiful examples of architecture, spanning many styles and eras.
Notable examples range from the Neomodern Beetham Tower skyscraper to the Gothic beauty of Manchester Town Hall. A product of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester is known as the first modern, industrial city noted for its warehouses, viaducts, mills and canals.
Manchester also has a vast number buildings designed in the architectural styles of 19th and early 20th century, with variations on Gothic, Edwardian baroque, Art Deco and Neo-Classical styles. The last few years has also seen a renewed interest in skyscrapers being built in the city, with Beetham Tower serving as a prime example.
