The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a historic building in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, southern France, standing on Quai du Port.

By the mid-17th century, it was dilapidated and, in September 1653, the first consul of Marseille, Gaspard de Villages, proposed that the city council should demolish it and erect a new building on the site.

[7] In 1792, during the French Revolution, the fleurs-de-lis, which had formed part of the city's coat of arms designed by Pierre Puget and placed above the front door, were torn off by revolutionaries and replaced by a Phrygian cap as a mark of protest.

On 4 April 1871, General Henry Espivent de la Villeboisnet entered the city with six to seven thousand regular soldiers and regained control.

[9] In early 1943, during the Second World War, the Hôtel de Ville was one of only four buildings to survive when the German authorities decided to demolish most of the surrounding area.
