Built 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.

Entre le Panier et les Docks, trône la magnifique cathédrale de Marseille. Pas aussi riche à l'intérieur que Notre Dame de la Garde (et un peu plus austère) mais d'une architecture extérieure sublime ! Prenez le temps de vous balader tout autour également.

Cathédrale magnifique autant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur.
son architecture et très spéciale ainsi que ses couleurs, ce qui fait son charme. L'intérieur est très lumineux et coloré. Un des plus belles cathédrales que j'ai vu assurément!
Malheureusement, l'extérieur de la cathédrale était en travaux.

Je l’avais repérée depuis la forteresse: son architecture si typique et cette grande place qui l’entoure. Elle était fermée au moment de mon passage mais j’aurai aimé la visiter. C’est bien aménagé autour.

Très belle grande cathédrale se trouvant à deux pas du Mucem et du quartier du Panier ! Site religieux à ne pas manquer pour sa beauté et sa grandeur ! En plus l'entrée de ce site est gratuite !
