Take a tour of Marseille Cathedral in Marseille, France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. The Marseille Cathedral stands in a site where cathedrals have stood since the fifth century. This ornately detailed building was finished in 1896, built in the Byzantine-Roman style. It is spread over a large area and was the largest cathedral of its time. Remains of the Old Major stand nearby, tiny next to the New Major. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille and a national monument of France. The bright Mediterranean sun hitting the cathedral's richly textured walls and towers is an incredible sight. The Cathedral is a popular attraction for visitors and worshippers.
