The Law courts. Formerly the home of the sovereigns of Provence, the Parliament and the Counts’ court, the former palace was demolished toward the close of the 18th century, at the same time as its surroundings. In is place, the architect Ledoux designed a new palace, but the revolution unfortunately prevented its construction. Between 1825 and 1832, Penchaud built the Law courts and the prison on Ledoux' foundations. Converted in 1998, the former prison is now an integral part of the new judiciary centre, and now houses the Court of Appeal, the current Palais Monclar. The architects Jean-Loup ROUBERT and Jean-Michel BATTESTI were the architects; it opened in 1998.
