Notre Dame de la Garde -- This monument of Marseille is located on the highest hill near the Old Port, at an altitude of 150 meters. The magnificent golden statue of Mary (protector of the city and its sailors) dominating the basilica is 11.20 metres long and weighs nearly 9,796 kg! It was made by the Christofle company and needs to be gilded with 500 grams of gold every quarter century.

Notre Dame de la Garde is not a cathedral but a basilica. This Byzantine-inspired masterpiece was designed by the architect Henry Espérandieu. Inside, a Romano-Byzantine style with stones decorated with mosaics dominates.

A funicular direct from the Vieux Port was constructed in 1892 by Gustave Eiffel’s company, but that closed in 1967.
