PROTESTANT TEMPLE
Protestant temple located in Marseille, the first non-Catholic religious building in the city in 1825.
This Protestant temple, with its easily recognizable facade since it is indeed a temple such as the Romans could conceive it, is the first non-Catholic religious building to be built in Marseille, in 1825. It was the French revolution that changed the mores in Marseille and saw the installation of the temple and a synagogue. Non-Catholic cults were then officially authorized in a city that had once been proclaimed strictly Catholic. The building is quite austere but has a pretty neoclassical façade. In the 19th century, Grignan Street was nicknamed the "Tolerance Street" because of the presence of this temple, a church and a synagogue.
