Marseille, the second largest city in France, is not a big old town. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the old port of Marseille. You can see this magnificent Catholic church with Byzantine Romanesque style in the distance. It may be on the coast and it is very windy from the slope. This Marseille landmark building was built in 1856 and was built using unique materials, green Florentine stone and white marble, until 1896. The interior of the church is simple and exquisite, and the sculptural murals are not as gorgeous as other French churches.
