Remains of a century monastery, one of the oldest in Marseille, with a crypt containing precious archaeological evidence
One of the oldest remains in the city. It was in the5th century that the monastery was founded and a chapel was created on the very site of the tombs of several martyrs, including Saint-Victor, who gave his name to the religious building. During its history, the abbey spread throughout the south of France and one of its abbots was appointed pope in 1362. Today, a visit to the site allows you to take the measure of more than 1,500 years of history and to discover the crypt, a bewitching place containing precious archaeological evidence.

L'aspect fortifié rappelle la nécessité de se protéger. L'esplanade domine le port et offre une jolie vue sur le fort St Jean.
Et surtout quand, vous partez, faites le tour de l'abbaye pour voir quelques traces des anciennes constructions de cette abbaye...
