Palais de la Bourse, Commerce palace in La Canebière district, Marseille, France
The rectangular building extends 47 meters in front, 68 meters deep, and rises 30 meters high with Corinthian columns adorning its facade.
The Chamber of Commerce initiated construction in 1852 after acquiring 65 properties, leading to the palace inauguration by Napoleon III in 1860.
The facade features sculptures of explorers Cook, Magellan, Columbus, Gama, and La Pérouse, along with representations of the ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
The Marine Museum and Economy Museum occupy the ground floor, offering regular exhibitions about maritime history and economic development.
The palace foundation required special engineering solutions due to clay soil conditions, which delayed the initial construction progress significantly.
