Truro Crown Court

Truro Crown Court, located in Truro, Cornwall, is a Grade II* listed building that serves as a venue for criminal cases. Opened in 1988, it was designed in a modernist style and features a distinctive asymmetrical façade with a prominent rotunda. The court was established to accommodate the growing number of cases in Cornwall, moving from the old Shire Hall in Bodmin. Notable trials held here include high-profile murder cases and the conviction of members of a local pressure group. Its architectural significance earned it the RIBA Building of the Year award in 1988, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers interested in legal history and modern architecture.
