Omagh Courthouse (Omagh)

 courthouse, Neoclassical (architecture), 1820s construction, Palladian architecture

Two-storey stone courthouse completed in the style of Palladian and neoclassical architecture by John Hargrave and built in 1814–1822 in place of a prison.

The walls are made out of cut limestone; its roof from natural slate. The portico has its pediment wearing a clock, shaped as triangle and is supported by Roman Doric pillars on a twelve-step-high platform. The sculpture on top is a royal cypher surrounded by a lion on the left and a unicorn on the right.
A south wing, designed by William Joseph Barre, was added in 1863.

The courthouse was targeted by a car bomb attack carried out by the Real IRA as part of the Troubles conflict, but the lack of free parking space led to it being moved away a few hundred meters from the building. They warned the authorities about an impending explosion near the courthose, to which then started to move pedestrians away from it and unknowingly closer to the car carrying the bombs; its detonation killed 29 civilians.
