Town Halls and Public Buildings to visit Martinique

Formerly a courthouse built in the heart of the city between 1905 and 1907, the building now houses the municipal department of culture of Fort-de-France. The neoclassical academic style architecture (columns, architraves, pediments, pilasters) presents an ordered façade on the upper part on which are engraved “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”. In front of the building is a statue of Victor Schoelcher, made in 1900 by a Parisian sculptor, commemorating the abolition of slavery. Rest in its park to the rhythm of its fountain.
