Atlas — Histoire et analyse

Les deux façades de l'Hôtel de Ville sont surmontées de trois statues en bronze. Sur l'élévation arrière, Atlas porte un globe céleste – dont ceci est le modèle réduit (sans le globe) – avec Tempérance et Vigilance à ses côtés. Sur l'élévation avant, la Paix est flanquée des vertus Sagesse et Justice.

Le message exprimé ici est que la paix universelle, sur terre et dans les cieux, dépend de ces quatre vertus.
