Welcome To Arthur Square

Refurbished in 2007, Freemasons' Hall, Belfast, is an undiscovered jewel of the architectural and social heritage of Belfast. It is of great local interest, with many of the city’s forefathers immortalised in its records, and it has borne witness to many significant events spanning three centuries. Centrally located in the historical heart of Belfast (in 1798, Henry Joy McCracken, a mason and United Irishman was hanged in adjacent Corn Market), and now the gateway to the spectacular Victoria Square shopping development, Freemasons’ Hall, Belfast, was originally designed and built by Sir Charles Lanyon, renowned architect of Queen’s University and many other landmark buildings.
