13000 Marseille
(Bouches-du-Rhône)
Place of devotion and a symbol for all the people of Marseille, the "Bonne Mère" overlooks Marseille from a height of 154 m. Remarkable collections of ex votos and uncomparable view. The basilica was built between 1853 to 1870, in a Romano-byzantine style. It raises to the sky, at the top of a 60 m tower and a 12.5 m belfry, a monumental statue of the virgin and child.
