Birmingham is also home to some stunning architecture. For example, Birmingham Town Hall is based on the Roman Temple of Castor and Pollux. As one of the first significant buildings that marked the 19th century revival of Roman architecture, it has also been a successful music venue for hundreds of years. In the 20th century, it hosted Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan, to name a few.
