MAJOR CATHEDRAL
Read moreBuilt as early as 381, the former Major is one of the oldest churches in Marseille. In the 19th century, its two bays were amputated and the cathedral of Sainte-Marie Majeure, consecrated in 1893, was added to it. The Romano-Byzantine style reminds us that Marseille was a trading port with the Orient. It is the largest French cathedral built since the Middle Ages. The interior decoration is splendid. To be seen, the four evangelists by Botinelly, Christ and St. Veronica by Carli, the onyx Ciborium and the altars by Cantini, as well as the tomb of Mazenod in the chapel.

MUSEUM OF AFRICAN, OCEANIAN AND AMERICAN INDIAN ARTS
Read moreDating back to 1670, the Hospice of Vieille-Charité was intended to house vagrants and orphans, after a royal edict on "the imprisonment of the poor and beggars". It was Pierre Puget, from Marseille, who became architect of the king, born a few metres away, who made the plans. The building is made up of vaulted galleries and three rows of arcades, with a little austere classic style. A chapel was constructed in the 17th century in the Roman baroque style. Restored after being abandoned for decades, becoming a place of storage for bananas, the architectural complex of this former leper colony now houses a polyculturel centre which includes museums (the museum of Mediterranean archaeology and the museum of African, Oceanian and Amerindian Arts), a library of art, a bookshop and numerous galleries where exhibitions are regularly held. A unique and peaceful place, located in the heart of the Panier district, where you can come to improve your knowledge or to simply stroll. Notice to photographers, the place is particularly beautiful when the sun goes down and the stone of the building takes pink tones.
