Grand Port Maritime de Marseille

A vibrant culture and museum complex serves as an artistic hub for Marseille, in a building that was once a 17th-century shelter for the homeless.

With its cavernous interior full of reminders of the city’s ancient past, this principal place of worship in Marseille is a neo-Byzantine masterpiece.

Stroll through the remains of Marseille’s port that is more than 2,000 years old and imagine the clamor and clang of ships docking against the stone walls.

In a striking landmark building, find exhibits that aim to give a new understanding of the Mediterranean, and France’s relation to it, now and in the past.

The long history of France’s oldest city is on display in a new, innovative space, which celebrates more than 2,600 years of Marseille’s restless spirit.
