Le jardin des vestiges sur Marseille

Marseille, Port Antique, Ancient Port, the ancient Greek port was founded by Greek settlers who arrived in the 6th century BC. Greek sailors from the eastern Aegean founded the city in 600 BC under the name Massialia. The site is located in the 1st arrondissement, behind the Centre Bourse shopping mall. The site was part of the ancient Greek city of Massalia. It includes parts of the ancient port and city walls, three square towers and a gate.

A must-see! Just steps from the modern-day old port, discovering this ancient site is truly surprising. Don't miss the explanatory film inside the museum. Free admission.

Interesting and you can view from the walkway.

What a beautiful port we visited, with its Christmas market! Lovely visit

A must-see, even for you Marseillais! A historic place, very well presented, as is the museum.

The meal was very good, the staff were smiling and friendly. We celebrated Beaujolais Nouveau with ES13, but there was no still water, only carafes of tap water.

It is a beautiful place with lots of restaurants

Beautiful, the spirit of Marseille. Walking along the waterfront is a lovely experience.

An archaeological site where you can find the remains of Roman buildings and get an idea of ​​the location of the ancient port of Marseille and its quays in Roman times. The water reached this point via a horn-shaped channel, which formed a natural breakwater for mooring ships.

A very pretty little park with very interesting remains if you have visited the museum beforehand.
