Palais de Justice

Fort-de-France


The Palais de Justice, a neoclassical courthouse built in 1906, is two blocks northeast of the cathedral and can only be viewed from the outside. The design resembles a French railroad station, as the plaque out front explains. The square fronting the courthouse has a statue of French abolitionist Victor Schoelcher. Facing the building across the square is the decidedly more modern Appeals Court.
