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.

Original church because of its striped black and white façade. that recalls the monasteries and churches me that I could see in Bulgaria! It does not envy her sister Notre Dame de la Garde.

Imposing monument, the cathedral of the Major is very different from the basilica ND of lagarde. Interesting architecture, its history is all the more. Visit with a guide. Explanations are nevertheless offered to visitors (on the left after the entrance)
