In the City; Romantic
Marseille, a city of art and culture dating back 26 centuries, is a perfect combination of tradition and modernity. The city remains profoundly marked by its past and constantly reveals traces of its history over the centuries. It leads the visitor from its Greek and Roman origins right up to the modernity of the present century, with its great architectural achievements of the 21st century, via the medieval religious foundations, the fortifications of the 16th century, the rich dwellings of the 17th and 18th centuries and the many prestigious buildings of the 19th century.
