The New York City Hall-replica in GTA IV, referred in "Entourage" as the "Civic Citadel".

The Woodworld Building in GTA IV, also known as the "Civic Citadel", as viewed to the south.

The Civic Citadel may refer to three different buildings, both situated in City Hall, Algonquin, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars: Two skyscrapers and Liberty City's city hall. This has caused confusion as to which building is actually known as the Civic Citadel, and it is likely that the name is used liberally by the developer without consideration of consistency.
Description
As city hall
During "Entourage", the player is instructed to drive Bobby Jefferson to the "Civic Citadel", which is revealed to be Liberty City's city hall (being based close to scale on the real-life New York City Hall building). This is the only instance where the building is referred as such.
As a skyscraper
The Civic Citadel name is also used to refer to a skyscraper further south from city hall, clearly based off Woolworth Building in New York City. While the building's entrances reveal it could be known as the Woodworld Building, hard copy maps reveal that a "Civic Citadel" is located on the very spot of the building, on a block bordered by Diamond Street, Calcium Street, Union Drive West and Liberty Lane.
The building resembling the Manhattan Municipal Building has also been referred to as the Civic Citadel. During one of Brucie's helicopter rides, he tells the player to fly to the Civic Citadel, and the marker that appears is right in front of this building. Once the player arrives there, the camera focuses in on this building, suggesting that this building is indeed the Civic Citadel.
