Located on the second arrondissement of Marseille, on the north shore of the old port, construction began in 1653 and was listed as a historical monument in France in 1948. One of the characteristics of the city hall is that the first floor does not have stairs to the second floor. If you want to go up to the second floor, you need to enter the next building and enter the second floor of the city hall through the covered bridge connecting the two buildings.
