The centrepiece of the largest gallery is John Singleton Copley 's huge painting ''The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar''. The Guildhall complex was built on the site of London's Roman Ampitheatre , and some of the remains of this are displayed in situ in a room in the basement of the art gallery. EXTERNAL LINKS |
