It is little bit less nice that notre dame de la garde. It is not often opened. But if you are close to it and that is opened, you should go, because it is very nice
Place is super good. One of the oldest cathedral built in 12th Century with the Roman Catholic cathedrals style build. Some of the exterior pics can be found here. Never say no to this place if you are a photographer / pose model... you get the beautiful pics during almost all hours of the day. Most preferred hours would be just hours before the sunset . It shines like pearl during those hours. It’s a big place you may have to take a far walk to see the full exteriors in a go.
is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, located in Marseille. It has been a basilica minor since 1896. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille (formerly the Diocese of Marseille until its elevation in 1948). Part of the earlier, much smaller cathedral still remains, alongside the new cathedral. It was built in the 12th century in a simple romanesque style. Two bays of the nave were demolished in the 1850s, when the new cathedral was built. What remains is the choir and one bay of the nave. It is commonly referred to as the \Vieille Major\.The composer Charles Desmazures was organist at the old cathedral.
The cathedral la major is beautiful inside and out. It has a familiar architecture to the Duomo in Florence, Italy. Entrance inside is free. I also love the mosaic tiles on the floor of the building. You should make a quick stop if you are in the area.
Great architecture and interesting history. The cathedral is overlooking the sea so the location is quite nice too. Unfortunately they are restoring the facade so if you’re planning to take a pic of it you may be disappointed (my experience in Sep 2019). Other than that the building is worth visiting, it’s peaceful and architecturally remarkable.
Very nice and beautiful cathedral. As well from the outside (unfortunately part of the front was in the scaffolding) as well on the inside. As always are the cathedrals very mystical.
Beautiful cathedral in a lovely location on the water. The building is currently undergoing rectification works with scaffolding around the building perimeter which is preventing access to certain areas. You are however still able to enter the church to worship. It wasn’t very crowded when we went but this could be due to the scaffolds on display. Views out to sea are gorgeous on a sunny day.
