The building makes nineteenth-century ideas of civic authority visible in stone: a broad stair leads to a temple-like portico, and sculpted legal figures occupy the roofline. It is best approached as an exterior architecture stop while crossing Place de la République, where there is space to take in the full composition.
What to look for
A broad staircase leads to the columned portico.
Three pediments break up the long façade.
Four sculpted figures line the roof above the front section.
Useful to know
View the full façade from across Place de la République.
Treat any interior visit as separate from the exterior stop; verify current public access first.
