Origin and history

The Lantivy Palace is a neoclassical building located in Ajaccio, South Corsica. Built between 1826 and 1830 under the direction of architect Alphonse de Gisors, it was ordered to serve as a prefecture in the department. Engineer Jouvin supervised the works and modified the floor plans in 1829. The palace was named after the Prefect Gabriel de Lantivy de Kerveno from 1824 to 1828.

The palace was the scene of historical events, such as the occupation in May 1958 by the leaders of the Committee of Public Salvation, demanding the return of General de Gaulle to power. It was classified as a historic monument on 30 January 1990. Its neoclassical architecture includes a rectangular plan, two floors, and a central atrium. The east and west wings were later added.

The palace houses notable decorative elements, such as a fresco depicting Aurora in a tank, located in the office of the deputy prefect. The prefect's apartments, including living room, dining room and office, overlook a garden to the west. The conference hall, accessible by a staircase, is decorated with neoclassical decorations.

Future

He served as prefecture in the department of Corse-du-Sud.
