Palm House

The centrepiece of Belfast's Botanic Gardens is Charles Lanyon’s beautiful Palm House, built in 1839 and completed in 1852, with its birdcage dome, a masterpiece in cast-iron and curvilinear glass.

Look out for fabulous details, such as rosettes, in the ironwork of the structure. The underfloor heating pipes are covered by the original iron grills.
