High Court (Burma)

High Court (Burma)

The High Court (also known as the Supreme Court) building, located between Maha Bandula Garden Street and Pansodan Street in Kyauktada Township, downtown Yangon, used to house the highest appeals court in Myanmar. (The new high court has been moved to Naypyidaw, the country's new capital since 2006.)

Designed by architect James Ransome, the High Court was completed in 1911, and is noted for its British colonial architecture, including its clock tower and its red-bricked exterior. Located near Yangon City Hall, the building faces the Independence Monument and the Maha Bandula Park.
