Marseille Courthouse, Neoclassical courthouse in 6th arrondissement, France
The Marseille Courthouse features a monumental entrance with 25 steps leading to six Ionic columns supporting a triangular front on Place Montyon.
The construction of this judicial building took place between 1856 and 1862 on former Arsenal grounds, replacing an older courthouse on Place Daviel.
The main chamber contains red Languedoc marble columns and ceiling decorations depicting historical jurists including Solon, Justinian, and Charlemagne.
The courthouse opens Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM at 6 rue Joseph Autran.
The rear facade displays Napoleonic army sculptures and two lions flanking a commemorative table designed by sculptor Émile Aldebert.
