GUILDHALL ART GALLERY
Discover the art collection of the City of London Corporation and visit Guildhall Yard, a tranquil and historic square in the middle of the City. The Gallery was established in 1886 as, 'a Collection of Art Treasures worthy of the capital city'. See works dating from 1670 to the present, including seventeenth century portraits, Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces and a fascinating range of paintings documenting London's dramatic history. ROMAN AMPHITHEATRE Step into the ruins of London's Roman Amphitheatre, in which crowds would once have gathered to watch wild animal fights, public executions and gladiatorial combats. Lost for centuries, the original circular walls were rediscovered by archaeologists working on the site of the new Guildhall Art Gallery building in 1988. FRIDAY TOURS Combine a visit to the Gallery with a free tour of the highlights of the permanent collection and the Roman Amphitheatre, available every Friday. Tours are given by a qualified City Guide and last approximately 45 minutes.
