Old Port of Marseille Marseille Vieux Port, Old Port of Marseille
France, Marseille
The old port is the heart of Marseille. Around it are the main sights of the city: Cathedral of Saint Mary-Major, Marseille City Hall, < a href="/places/fr/marsel/Dvorec_Faro-s2597/">Faro Palace, Old Almshouse, Marseille History Museum, Bourse.

The port in this place began to be built under the ancient Greeks - around 600 BC. Thanks to him, Marseille was one of the largest trading centers in Europe. And during the time of Louis XIV, the tower of St. Nicholas and the tower of St. John were erected at the entrance to the port.

All roads in Marseille lead to the Old Port. It was here, more than 2500 years ago, that the first settlement of Greek colonists arose. Since then, and to this day, the port has been and remains the center of the city. What to pay attention to? - the medieval forts of St. John and St. Nicholas, which once protected the safety of the city's harbor - every morning the Marseille fish market unfolds here, where they sell only freshly caught goods - an unusual mirror pavilion on the pier of Marseille, which reflects everyone and a small part of the sea surface - it is from here that excursion trains called Les petits trains de Marseille leave, which will take you around the tourist part of Marseille - all excursion programs around the Calanques (these are such fjords of the Mediterranean Sea) start right there.
