Clermont-Ferrand's neoclassical town hall is built of Volvic stone (1828). Its architecture is inspired by Italian Renaissance palaces.
The town hall originally housed the town hall, a court and a prison. The building was constructed between 1823 and 1844 by architect Louis-Charles Ledru. This exceptional neoclassical ensemble in lava stone features a striking monumental façade. It features a colonnaded forebody and triangular pediment. Its wrought-iron gate opens onto a courtyard inspired by the architecture of Italian Renaissance palaces.
When the gates are open, don't hesitate to climb the staircase to explore the galleries around the patio.
