Palais communal de Nice, Baroque town hall in Old Nice, France
The communal palace of Nice features a monumental facade with marble portal and architectural elements influenced by Turin and Genoa styles.
Built between 1574 and 1580, the palace served as Nice's town hall for nearly three centuries until its relocation in 1868.
The building represents Nice's administrative heritage and hosts official ceremonies within its 16th-century architectural space.
Visitors can view the building at Place Saint-François in the historic district, where its facade was renovated in 1978.
Remains of the 13th-century Franciscan church are visible on the back of the palace, representing medieval architecture in Nice.
