The Palace of Justice of Aix-en-Provence (French: "Palais de justice d'Aix-en-Provence") is a listed historical building in Aix-en-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
The Palace of Justice is located on the Place de Verdun in the centre of Aix-en-Provence.[1]
Architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux was commissioned to build or rebuild[2] [3] The palace in 1787.[1] [4] Two hundred houses were demolished to make space for the new construction.[1] However, construction was discontinued because of the French Revolution of 1789.[1] It resumed in 1822, when architect Michel Penchaud took over.[1] The building was finally completed in 1831.[1]
The building is flanked by two sculptures Joseph-Marius Ramus: on the left, Jean-Étienne-Marie Portalis; on the right, Joseph Jérôme, Comte Siméon.
