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.

Bâtiment emblématique de Marseille, non loi des docks et des terrasses du port. Cette cathédrale est majestueuse, dommage qu'elle soit souvent en travaux/rénovation

La cathédrale de la major est magnifique, elle ne pourra que vous laisser pantois par sa majesté et sa beauté. Elle est encore plus merveilleuse lorsqu'elle prend vie à l'occasion d'une messe !

Aussi belle à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. A voir absolument. Le quartier qui l'entoure est entièrement rénové.
