Justice Court in Nîmes, Courthouse in Nîmes, France
The courthouse exhibits a neoclassical architecture with six Corinthian columns and a central portico facing the Charles de Gaulle esplanade.
Built between 1838 and 1846 by architect Gaston Bourdon, this building replaced an earlier 1811 structure that proved too small for judicial needs.
The interior contains paintings by Numa Boucoiran depicting historical scenes in the Criminal Court chamber.
The courthouse houses courts and judicial services, requiring identification for access during opening hours.
The construction cost reached 737,000 francs, triple the initial budget of 246,000 francs.
