Palais Lantivy, Neoclassical prefecture in central Ajaccio, France.

The Lantivy Palace stands on Cours Napoleon with a rectangular facade spanning two floors and lateral wings framing a central atrium.

Construction of the palace, ordered by royal decree in 1822, took place from 1826 to 1830 following designs by architect Alphonse de Gisors.

The entrance hall houses the Good Shepherd sarcophagus, a 5th-century Carrara marble piece discovered in the Saint Jean district.

Muvistrada bus lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 serve the palace with a stop named 'Prefecture' located in immediate proximity.

Original frescoes restored in 2006 decorate the palace walls, which includes a Mediterranean garden featuring palm trees and cedars.
