FranceThe "Cathédrale de la Major" is one of the main attractions of Marseille.
The cathedral in the Romanesque-Byzantine style is right next to the port of Marseille.
The interior is rather spartan and reminds du to numerous drooping from the ceiling banners with Provencal crest more like a knight's hall than a church.
Impressive is mainly the dimension of the cathedral, it is 145 meters long, the main dome is 70 meters high and has a diameter of nearly 18 meters.
The "Cathédrale de la Major" is considered as one of the finest late medieval cathedrals in France and should therefore be visited!
