Town hall of Avignon, Government building in Place de l'Horloge, Avignon, France
The Town Hall features a classical facade with ornate architectural elements, columns, and a prominent tower rising above the main structure.
Architect Léon Feuchère rebuilt the Town Hall in the mid-19th century, leading to its inauguration by Napoleon III on September 24, 1856.
The building maintains both monument historique classé and inscrit status, marking its dual recognition in French architectural preservation efforts.
Located in central Avignon, the Town Hall serves as the primary administrative center and hosts municipal meetings throughout the year.
The structure stands near the former Roman forum location, where archaeological remains beneath Place de l'Horloge reveal ancient city foundations.
