Built in 1927, the Pasadena city hall has a Palladian style of architecture reminiscent of 16th century Italian Renaissance architecture.  The rectangular building surrounds a courtyard with rose gardens, a center fountain and arcades (the architectural kind, not the video game kind).  The front facade is dominated by a six story circular domed tower that can be seen from some distance away.  Against a bright blue California sky the tan color of the city hall building really pops and makes for some great architectural photography.
