Palais de Justice, Administrative quarter in 6th arrondissement, Marseille, France
The Palais de Justice district spans across a central area of Marseille, marked by its grand courthouse building with six ionic columns and triangular pediment.
The current judicial palace, constructed between 1856 and 1862 by architect Auguste Martin, replaced an older courthouse that stood at Place Daviel.
The main hall features sixteen red marble columns from Languedoc and ceiling decorations depicting historical legislators including Solon, Justinian, Charlemagne, and Napoleon I.
The district contains an underground parking facility for 500 vehicles beneath the Monthyon square, providing convenient access to the courthouse and surrounding area.
The courthouse's pediment displays sculptures representing Justice, Strength, Crime, Prudence, and Innocence, created by renowned artist Eugene Guillaume.
