Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde
Climb up the hill for a beautiful view of the bay from Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, located at the highest natural point in Marseille. This Catholic basilica, showing Roman architectural influences, is the town's most prominent landmark. The church was built by the architect Henri-Jacques Espérandieu on a 149 m (490 ft) limestone outcrop on the south side of the old port. Seek out the great bell and silver statues of religious figures within the basilica. To visit Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde on your trip to Marseille, use our Marseille itinerary builder.

July 6, 2017It's hard to believe that such a beautiful establishment is built atop of a hill. It's a steep climb, so take the bus if you can, or even better drive up. You can easily spend 1-2 hours there admiring and soaking up the views.

July 15, 2017One of the most beautiful feats of architecture I had the privilege to visit. Quite easily accessible (take bus 60) and so stunningly beautiful! Don't miss it if you're in Marseille.

August 14, 2017Nice view of Marseille, not too far to walk from down town. Not as impressive as some of the other cathedrals in France but definitely worth the trip.
