One of the most noted squares in Aix-en-Provence, the Place de l’Hotel de Ville , or Town Hall Square, is known for its different architectural styles and three historical landmarks. Pedestrians walking in the area will notice the Italianate-style Town Hall, which was originally installed in the 14th century and later rebuilt by Pierre Pavillion in the 17th century with the assistance of the sculptors Rambot and Fossé. Close by, the Grain Hall built in 1754 boasts neo-Classical elements and features distinctive details such as the Rhone and Durance Rivers, and different fruits, symbolizing agricultural prosperity in the area. Finally, the Clock Tower, which was built in 1510 symbolizes unity and power. At the center of it all is a lovely fountain featuring a Roman column.
