Palais de Justice de Montpellier, Neoclassical courthouse in central Montpellier, France.
The Palais de Justice exhibits a grand stone facade with elevated entrance and columned peristyle, following traditional French judicial architecture principles.
The current building, constructed between 1846 and 1853 by architect Pierre Abric, replaced a medieval fortress where justice was administered by bailiffs.
The courthouse interior features a painting depicting Louis XIV supported by Justice and Religion, representing the strong connection between state and judicial power.
Located at 1 Rue Foch, the building houses the Court of Appeals and criminal courts, while other judicial services operate from the Mediterranean Judicial Center.
The structure stands on foundations dating from 1629 when the Court of Accounts established itself on ruins of the previous castle.
