Sainte-Marie-Majeure Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
Part of the earlier, much smaller cathedral still remains, alongside the new cathedral. It was built in the 12th century in a simple romantic style. Two bays of the nave were demolished in the 1850s, when the new cathedral was built. What remains is the choir and one bay of the nave. It is commonly referred to as the "Vieille Major".
The "Nouvelle Major" was built on an enormous scale in Byzantine-Roman style from 1852 to 1896 on the site used for the cathedrals of Marseille since the fifth century, principally by the architects Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu (1829-1874). It is 142 meters (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 meters (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marseille_Cathedral
La Major was built in the Neo-Byzantine style between 1852 and 1893 to the designs of architect Léon Vaudoyer. Located in the Joliette district of the 2nd arrondissement, it stands on an esplanade between the Old Port and the Port of Joliette, on the site of the former 12th-century cathedral, from which the Occitan name "Major" comes. Its architecture and interior decoration, in marble and porphyry, give it a unique appearance for a religious building.
It was elevated to a minor basilica by Leo XIII on January 24, 1896.
