Marseille Cathedral
Marseille Cathedral, known as La Major, is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille, built between 1852 and 1896 in a Romanesque-Byzantine style to designs by Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu. Its striped stonework, domes and twin towers face the sea beside the Joliette docks, and part of the smaller 12th-century Romanesque cathedral still stands alongside it.
