The Palais de Justice is one of Grand-Bassam's colonial-era public buildings, constructed in 1910 and used as a court until 1954. Its condition is poor, but it remains part of the old administrative landscape that gives the historic town its character.
Treat it as a stop on a wider walk through Grand-Bassam's colonial quarter rather than a stand-alone attraction. The building helps show how the former capital was laid out, alongside the old post office, governors' buildings, and seafront streets.
