This monument pays tribute to the soldiers who fell in the First World War
The Monument to the Heroes of the Army of the East and Distant Lands pays tribute to the soldiers who fell in the First World War, on the Eastern and African fronts, in the Dardanelles, Salonika or in Syria. Inaugurated in 1927 in the presence of President Doumergue, it is the work of Gaston Castel, an architect from Marseilles, among others. This portico "in the sky" in front of the sea reminds us that Marseille is a gateway to the East. The two winged female figures symbolize heroism. The central statue with raised arms is an allegory of victory.
