The Manila City Hall Filipino: Bulwagang Panlungsod ng Maynila is the official seat of government of the City of Manila, located in the historic center of Ermita, Manila. It is where the Mayor of Manila holds office and the chambers of the Manila City Council.[2] It was originally intended to be a part of a national government center envisioned by Daniel Burnham in the 1930s. Although the dream plan was not fully implemented, some buildings for the proposed government center was constructed, including the Old Legislative Building now the National Museum of Fine Arts, and the Agriculture and Finance Buildings presently the National Museum of Anthropology and National Museum of Natural History.
