One of my favorite historical places to visit in pasadena, along Plaza de las Fuentes. These areas are so nicely maintained and well iluminated in the evening. Lots of nice spots to take pictures.

Pasadena City Hall is one of the most interesting and iconic buildings to visit if you're in town. The architecture is absolutely beautiful. It's also one of the best locations to have your engagement photos in Southern California.

It is a magnificent Palace. This place was indicated for anniversary photos. I sawmany couples in wedding attire taking photos. Quinciañeras too and babies with costumes of baptism. The Palace has a very nice artwork. Especially the patio, since it has a large and historical fountain.

Stunning City Hall! Stumbled on this place while on a roadtrip looking for a place to walk my dog. Also loved the succulents out front. Just beautiful!!

I don’t know what else they do in this building but my husband and I took our engagement photos here and a recent 5 year update with our doggo. The architecture is gorgeous and the only downside of going out on a Sunday is trying to work around all the other weddings and Quincenettas trying to shoot there as well.

Beautiful classic architecture & very well maintained. The garden is immaculate & the interior fountain is quite stunning. I'd say this is one of the best City Halls i've visited in California.

It was still intermittently raining and sprinkling when I got there and spent an hour in and out of the arches and the courtyard. Merry Christmas, everyone. The Christmas tree 🎄 was definitely a nice addition for the holiday season, otherwise, it would have been quite a boring beige monotone architecture on a rainy/overcast day. However, the architecture is the very reason why we visit here anyway. If you look at all the details on the facade as well as the ceiling in the arch, you’d know it is worth your time to pay attention to those and appreciate what went into it. Such symmetrical and geometrical shapes that it holds is just pleasing to the eye. The courtyard itself is pretty but also every corner is worth every second you take photos here. Selfies or family photos, or even wedding and engagement photos. While here, I saw a couple taking a pre-wedding bride and groom session. Very nice to photograph anyone. Highly recommend this place if you haven’t been here. There’s parking in front and behind and all around the block with the pay dispenser. They charge $1.25 per hour. Worth every penny.

Lovely place for a stroll around the courtyard and fountain. Several couples were getting married and having photos taken. There were public restrooms open when we visited around 11:30 am on a Monday.

It's so peaceful and neat place. Antique atmosphere ~ Nearby there are dining and shopping centers with convenient parking structures.

I love this place. People come here to take wedding photos or profile pictures, to draw, to walk around and more. It is more beautiful especially during the night. If you visit here during the day time, I recommend you to take a rest in the garden which is at behind of the main building. I always bring my guests here and they are always satisfied.

The architecture is amaizing between french neocalssical, tuscan and californian. The builfing is gorgeous and it has a tuscan like garden with roses. It is a incredible public space. I love love love it.

Amazing and beautiful building, I saw it while driving and had to stop to take it all in.

Wonderful city hall, surely one of the best of California. The building is open and free, so you can access the garden and the internal corridors to take a look inside. I recommend it if you have some time and you are nearby.

Beautiful building and atmosphere. Nice surrounding grounds. Great location for wedding fotos on weekends apparently.

Stunning architecture that will soon celebrate it's centennial! We saw at least 5 photoshoots -- weddings, family, etc -- all over the place but it's a public property so take your time and stroll through and enjoy the garden. Go all the way through to the Episcopal Church on the other side, the view from there may be even better.

I did a recent post wedding session here for the bride & Groom its a beautiful public location but Very crowded during the holidays cause of the photography opportunities.

Very imposing neo-gothic building with beautiful gardens and fountains opposite. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful place. You can visit it on weekends too. Saw five couples taking wedding photos here!

Awesome place to be and shoot on Sunday…!!! Shooting for a magazine at City Hall…. Beautiful sunny day:

Beautiful Building the City Hall of Pasadena California no matter day or night

This is a beautiful building, I have pictures of it in my gallery from years ago. I gave it 2 stars because unfortunately the parking around City Hall SUCKS! Fix that issue and you'll get a 5 star rating.

Beautiful place. Recommended 👍😀

Pasadena's First PRIDE Celebration June 25, 2022

Stunning venue beautiful fountain makes you feel like you walked into a european garden . Well cared for rose garden stunning view , amazong building and architecture .very clean. So relaxing and peaceful. Be aware you do need to apply for a permit ahead of time for professional pictures.

What a great experience it is shooting a quinceanera or wedding client here. Love this place. Definitely use the stairwells. Soft, beautiful, light. Hope to shoot another bride and groom again here soon.

Beauty and Elegance! Had enjoyed walks and photo shoots through the years with my kids like many people! and seen many times couples take pictures, graduation pics as well as wedding photos! Going on field trips to walk around the hallways gives kids a chance to appreciate this Historic Landmark of CA 💛
