Hôtel de Ville de Lyon

The Hôtel de Ville de Lyon, on Place des Terreaux, is one of the city’s finest historic landmarks. Built in the 17th century and later restored after a fire, it stands out for its grand Baroque architecture and richly decorated interiors. While mainly used for official functions, its elegant façade and prominent setting make it a worthwhile stop when exploring central Lyon. Visit for a glimpse of the city’s civic history and to admire an important monument near the Museum of Fine Arts and other major sights.
