Rotunda

New Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 121 643 2514
 

Arguably Birmingham's most famous building, this cylindrical office block is an important landmark. At some twenty storeys high the Rotunda is by no means Birmingham's tallest building, but its distinctive shape makes it unmissable. It was built as part of the early 1960s reconstruction of the city centre and was threatened with demolition as plans were drawn up for the current rebuilding of the central shopping area. But a public outcry saved this significant edifice and it is being incorporated into redevelopment plans.
