Marseille City Hall, Baroque town hall in Old Port, France
The Marseille City Hall features a prominent stone facade with a central loggia facing the port, displaying strong Genoese architectural influences.
Built between 1653 and 1673 under Louis XIV's order to transform the city, the structure replaced the original 13th-century Maison de Ville.
The building represents a notable example of Provençal Baroque architecture and received monument historique classé status in April 1948.
The Municipal Council now conducts meetings in the Espace Villeneuve-Bargemon, located beneath Place Bargemon following recent renovations.
Instead of internal stairs connecting floors, access between levels requires crossing an external bridge, reflecting historical separation between merchants and officials.
