Cathédrale Saint-Marie-Majeure dite La Major (Marseille)

Europe, France, PACA, Bouches du Rhône, Marseille, La Joliette, Cathédrale de Marseille (slightly cut from B&T).

The Saint-Marie-Majeure (dite La Major) (1893) cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Marseille. Its eclectic style is Byzantine-Roman Revival. The architects were Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu. The edifice is 142 meters (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 meters (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France.

Its polychromatic façade has alternating bands of ‘Pierre de Cassis’ and green marble.

Espérandieu (a Protestant architect) was also the leading architect of the ND de La Garde (also Byzantine - Roman Revival styled) here.

He was called in to replace Léon Vaudroyer, who died in 1872 after a 20-year involvement with the design and build of the cathedral. In the 19th century cathedral building was a very lengthy process, not as long as that of the ones of the middleages though.

This is number 28 of the Churches album and 15 of Marseille.
