Tribunal de commerce de Paris, Commercial courthouse in Île de la Cité, France
The rectangular building spans 50 by 70 meters with an octagonal dome reaching 45 meters high on the northern bank of Île de la Cité.
The construction of the current tribunal, commissioned by Napoleon III, began in 1859 and was completed in 1865 under architect Antoine-Nicolas Bailly's direction.
The main entrance features statues representing law, justice, firmness, and prudence, while the interior displays busts of notable French historical figures.
The seven-floor courthouse centralizes commercial justice functions previously distributed across Paris, making legal proceedings more efficient for citizens and businesses.
The building's dome design drew inspiration from the Brescia City Hall in Italy, incorporating Renaissance elements into French Second Empire architecture.
