The Cathedrale de la Mayor, is a well-known church in the city of Marseille, a coastal city in the Bouches du Rhone region of southern France on the Cote Bleue, along the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea.
The city of Marseille is built on a hill and every road slopes down to the sea and the port below. Every building on the Marseille skyline is very visible as it is always higher than the one in front of it, so when a building is built, a lot of care is taken into the construction, especially if it is an important building, such as a church located right in the downtown area of the...
... city.
The Cathedrale de la Mayor is also called the Basilica of St. Mary Major and was built from plans laid down by the architect Leon Vaudoyer. This Cathedral is a perfect example of Romanesque Byzantine architecture.
This style of architecture, made popular in Medieval Europe, can be easily defined by the thick walls of the building, lots of round archways, large tall towers, and lots of decorations on the archways. Some of those details can be seen in this view here. More churches than any other buildings were built using this architectural style.
