Truro (pronounced Cornish: Truru) is the only city within the county of Cornwall, it is also Cornwall's administrative centre. It is the most southerly city in the United Kingdom, situated just under 232 miles (374 kilometres) west south-west of Charing Cross, London. It has a population of 20,920. The remains at Carvossa indicate that there has been settlement in the Truro since at least Iron Age times. There was also a Norman castle on one of the hills beside Truro, now the site of the recent award-winning Courts of Justice building (by Eldred Evans and David Shalev, who also designed the Tate St Ives building). Truro rose to prominence as a market town and port during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. However with the decline of the fishing and tin mining industries, Truro's role has shifted to being the cultural and commercial capital of Cornwall. Truro's present buildings are mostly Georgian era or later, a result of its role as a stannary town during the height of the mining industry in West Cornwall.
