    Valenciennes Town Hall is a magnificent building with a rich history. The current town hall is located on the Place d'Armes and is an impressive example of neoclassical architecture. The building was originally built in the 17th century, but was largely destroyed during a bombing raid in 1940. It was later rebuilt and re-inaugurated in 1967.
    The façade of the town hall is decorated with allegorical statues, the work of the sculptor Philippe Joseph Henri Lemaire. At the top of the building is a pediment by the famous sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. The town hall is a symbol of the urban history and culture of Valenciennes and also houses a media library and various exhibitions.
